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?
