Acknowledgment of receipt is not a business message but a signal that
does not include a business document. Please see ebXML BPSS for further
definition. The acknowledgment of receipt signal indicates the receipt
of a request that has passed a syntactic check. It does not indicate the
request (in this case order request) has been handed over for processing
or is being processed. Thanks.
