  • Create: Click to open a Create new row. Enter the new company ID, then click the Save button.
  • Assign: Click to assign the ID to the company.

Interchange

• Authorization Information Qualifier (ISA01): Identifies the type of authorization information that follows in ISA02. Common values include 00 for no authorization information, or 01 for a password.

• Authorization Information (ISA02): Contains the authorization information specified by ISA01. It can be used for security or authentication purposes, though it is often left empty.

• Security Information Qualifier (ISA03): Identifies the type of security information that follows in ISA04. Common values include 00 for no security information, or 01 for a password.

• Security Information (ISA04): Contains the security information specified by ISA03. As with ISA02, this is used for additional security, but is often left empty.

• Control Standard Identifier (ISA11): Identifies the standards version being used. Typically, this is U for X12.

• Control Version Number (ISA12): Indicates the version of the X12 standard used. For example, 00401 is for X12 4010.

• Acknowledgment Requested (ISA14): Indicates whether an acknowledgment is requested. Common values are 0 for no acknowledgment, or 1 for acknowledgment required.

• Usage Indicator (ISA15): Identifies the type of data in the interchange. For example, P for production data, or T for test data.

Functional Group

• Responsible Agency Code (GS07): Identifies the issuer of the standard. (X is for X12.)

• GS Document Version Code (GS08): The GS version that indicates the beginning of a functional group for control information.
