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.
