I am creating a new implementation guideline and maps for X12
transaction 810, version 4010 to generate invoices for utility
customers.

We are now testing the output with our trading partners and have gotten
some feedback (with differing opinions) on our use of the BAL segments
versus the Summary SAC segments to report information about various
balance amounts.

We chose not to use the BAL segment (the UIG guideline indicates this is
an optional segment) and instead use the SAC segments to report balances
(UIG guideline indicates that the SUM of all SAC segments should equal
the amount due in the TDS Segment.  

For example: (note that 2 of the segments have 'N' in the sac01 to
indicate information only) 

TDS|243325~
SAC|C||EU|PRB000|248353||||||||||PREVIOUS ACCOUNT BALANCE~
SAC|A||EU|PAY000|-126849||||||||||TOTAL PAYMENTS/CREDITS~
SAC|C||EU|MSC000|121821||||||||||TOTAL NEW CHARGES~
SAC|N||EU|MSC000|243325||||||||||CURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCE~
SAC|N||EU|PAY000|126849||||||||||Payment Received on -01/22/2006~

One trading partner says that this is not UIG compliant, and insists
that we replace the SAC segment balance data with BAL segments.

We could do that, but then how would they be able to calculate and
reconcile the total amount due we say is due (TDS) if they don't have
all the SAC data?

Would it be considered "compliant" to continue to send all of the SAC
balance data, in addition to the BAL segment?


Sorry for the lengthy (and maybe a bit confusing) email, but I
appreciate your time,
