This section explains how to configure Functional Group (inner envelope) ePM parameters for ASC X12 PM. Figure 6–5 shows an ePM example with these parameters displayed. This section contains the following parameters:
Allows you to set a value to match the Group Name attribute of this business action, set in the B2B Host’s Business Service; required.
For example, a Group Name of “HS” is for a 270 action; “HB” for a 271; “PO” for an 850; “PR” for an 855; “FA” for a 997.
None (depends on the current business action)
Allows you to enter a value representing the code identifying the party sending a message transmission. These codes are predefined and agreed upon by the TPs; required.
The appropriate valid integer that represents the application sender code.
None
Allows you to enter a value representing the code identifying the party receiving a message transmission. These codes are predefined and agreed upon by the TPs; required.
The appropriate valid integer that represents the application sender code.
None
Allows you to set the date structure for this transaction set, in a format specified under “Required Values;” required.
CCYYMMDD or CCYYYYMMDD; choose from the list to use a four-digit or two-digit year format, for example:
20041201 = December 1, 2004
050112 = January 12, 2004
CCYYMMDD
Allows you to set the time structure for this transaction set, in a format specified under “Required Values;” required.
HHMM, HHMMSS, HHMMSSD, or HHMMSSDD.
Choose from the list to specify seconds and degrees of accuracy, for example:
2359 = 11:59PM
235959 = 11:59:59PM
23595999 = 11:59:59.99PM
The time is expressed in 24-hour (military) clock time as follows: HHMM, or HHMMSS, or HHMMSSD, or HHMMSSDD, where H = hours (00-23), M = minutes (00-59), S = integer seconds (00-59); and DD = decimal seconds; decimal seconds are expressed as follows: D = tenths (0-9) and DD = hundredths (00-99).
HHMM
Allows you to enter the group control number assigned and maintained by the sender.
The appropriate valid integer that represents the group control number.
0
Allows you to enter a value representing the code used in conjunction with data element (DE) 480 used to identify the issuer of the current X12 standard; required.
The appropriate correct transaction set code (X is recommended, but you may have to use others, for example, T, as required by the current X12 standard being used.
X
Allows you to enter a value representing the code indicating the X12 version, release, subrelease, and industry identifier of the EDI standard being used, including the GS and GE segments; required.
If the responsible agency code under the GS07 segment is X (recommended), enter values as follows in the appropriate DE 480 positions:
1 through 3 = the current version number
4 through 6 = the release and subrelease levels of the current version
7 through 12 = the current industry or trade association identifiers (optionally assigned by the user)
If code entered for the GS07 segment is different, for example, T, then other formats are allowed, as required by the current X12 standard being used.
None
