What is the SMTA Frame?
A customer can complete multiple MTAs, each of which will product new documents to override other documents that have already been issued during the policy lifecycle. These documents and MTAs can all look the same, so Stroll needed a method of identifying and versioning each MTA that is exported from OGI to Stroll.
The SMTA frame records the date and the time of the MTA that is being completed, and this data is then sent to the Stroll platform from OGI along with the EDI documents so that the platform knows which documents to group together and for which MTA.
The SMTA frame also allows us to reverse an MTA, by updating the status of the relevant version / MTA that needs to be reversed.
