Interchange

• Syntax Identifier (STX01.1): This code signifies the beginning of a new EDI message or envelope. It marks the start of the envelope segment, which contains the metadata and control information necessary for processing the EDI transaction.

• Syntax Version Number (STX01.2): This code provides additional details or specifications related to the start of the envelope. It might include further identifiers or settings that complement the primary start of the envelope code.

• Sender Name (STX02.2): This code may include supplementary data or extended information that complements the primary envelope header. It can contain additional administrative or reference details.

• Receiver Name (STX03.2): This code could represent supplementary data or segments within the body of the envelope. It may include additional details or attachments related to the primary body content.

• Control Number (STX05): This segment signifies the end of the entire EDI envelope, marking the conclusion of the message. It helps in defining where the envelope finishes and assists in proper message parsing and processing.

• Recipients Reference (STX06): This code might be used for additional closure or finalization details related to the end of the envelope. It ensures that all required segments are properly completed.

• Application Reference (STX07): This segment could be used for any extra or supplementary information that doesn’t fit into the main envelope segments but is still relevant for processing the EDI message.

• Priority Code (STX08): This code represents any special segments or codes that might be used for specific purposes, such as industry-specific requirements or additional processing needs.

Separators

• Element Separator: The character that separates individual data elements in the document.

• Component Separator: The character that separates elements within a composite data structure in the document.

• Segment Terminator: The character that indicates the end of a segment in the document.

• Release Indicator: The character that releases (escapes) the next character, overriding its usual meaning. This allows reserved characters to appear as data within documents, as long as they are preceded by the Release Char.

Control Number

• Control Number: The number used in the header of an EDI document to validate exchanged documents.

Advanced

• Send 997: Enable to automatically send a functional acknowledgment (997) for every message received.
