- What
types of editing will be preformed on the ANSI ASC
X12N 834 and 820 transactions?
Answer: There will be
two levels of editing performed by the EDI System
on the X12N 834 and 820 transactions. These include:
Level
1 – Syntax level editing will perform
validation of the format, syntax and structure. This
could include element attributes, sequencing, and
segment/element usage.
Level 2 – Implementation
Guide Editing will validate the contents of elements
to insure they match the allowed values in accordance
with the IG. This will include any code values expressly
stated by the IG.
