About the ASC X12 OTD Library
The ASC X12 OTD Library includes transaction set structures for each of the transactions available for a given ASC X12 version. You can use these structures as provided or customize them as needed.
eGate Integrator uses Object Type Definitions (OTDs) based on ASC X12 message structures to verify that the data in messages is in the correct format. There is a message structure for each ASC X12 transaction.
X12 is an electronic data interchange (EDI) standard, developed for the electronic exchange of machine-readable information between businesses.
