Functional Group Parameters
This section explains how to configure Functional Group (inner envelope or GS) ePM parameters for HIPAA PM. Figure 6–13 shows an ePM example with these parameters displayed. This section contains the following parameters:
GS01 Functional ID Code
Description
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.
Required Values
For example, a Group Name of “HS” is for a 270 action and “HB” for a 271 action.
Default
None (depends on the current business action)
GS02 Application Sender Code
Description
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
Required Values
The appropriate valid integer that represents the application sender code.
Default
None
GS03 Application Rcvr Code
Description
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.
Required Values
The appropriate valid integer that represents the application sender code.
Default
None
GS04 Date Format
Description
Allows you to set the date structure for this transaction set, in a format specified under “Required Values;” required.
Required Values
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
Default
CCYYMMDD
GS05 Time Format
Description
Allows you to set the time structure for this transaction set, in a format specified under “Required Values;” required.
Required Values
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).
Default
HHMM
GS06 Group Control Num
Description
Allows you to enter the group control number assigned and maintained by the sender.
Required Values
The appropriate valid integer that represents the group control number.
Default
0
GS07 Resp Agency Code
Description
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 HIPAA standard; required.
Required Values
The appropriate correct transaction set code (X is recommended, but you may have to use others, for example, T, as required by the current HIPAA standard being used.
Default
X
GS08 Vers/Rel/Indust ID Code
Description
Allows you to enter a value representing the code indicating the HIPAA version, release, subrelease, and industry identifier of the EDI standard being used, including the GS and GE segments; required.
Required Values
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 HIPAA standard being used.
Default
00401X091
Starting Control Number
Description
Allows you to set the group control number that starts calculating the unique identifier for groups. The identifier increments by 1 from this number, for each additional group; required.
Required Values
The appropriate integer.
Default
0
Validation URL
Description
Allows you to enter the URL for the external third-party validation server.
Required Values
A valid URL allowing access to the external third-party validation server.
Default
None
Use Functional Ack from Validation Service
Description
Allows you to specify whether to use the functional acknowledgment generated by the external third-party validation server; required.
Required Values
Select true or false.
Default
false
Save Report to Files
Description
Allows you to specify whether to save interleaved error reports to text files. If you set this parameter to false, these error reports persist only in Message Tracking; required.
Required Values
Select true or false.

Description
If you do save interleaved error reports to text files (Save Report to Files is set to true), allows you to specify the directory path location where you want these error report files to be saved.
Required Values
A valid directory path location accessible to eXchange.
Default
None
Unique ID Source
Description
Allows you to select whether to select third-party message validation is based on algorithms or multiple message responses.
Validation, the default option, assigns unique IDs to incoming transaction sets based on an algorithm embedded in validation routines (externally assigned). Internal assignment supports environments where multiple valid responses to a single unique ID are permissible, and an internally assigned ID is necessary; required.
Required Values
Select Validation or Internal.
Default
Validation
Note –
See Appendix A, Externally Assigned Unique IDs for more information on externally assigned unique IDs.
