Your ERP should be able to cross reference a Tax ID to an internal payer number. This is NOT something you should be doing in a map. Due to mergers (gee those never happen) buyouts and other arcane reasons I'm sure there are many of, Tax ID's can change. Failures and exceptions are handled best in an ERP system, by the AP people, not by the person whose job it is to monitor the daily EDI process.
So, ask your ERP people where you should put the tax ID in your output file. Or, alternatively, you could ask your customer if they can send you an 820 directly (which is likely to contain much more helpful information, anyway). Bank 820's are notoriously skimpy.

I have looked at the 820 specs from our bank. - The bank does not send the N1_04 for the N1_01(PR "Payer") segment. - They define the BPR_10 as the "Originating Customer ID". When I asked them about the BPR_10 they replied that the BPR_10 is the TaxID of the Originator. I would have expected the bank to send a N1_04 as it is passed to them from many payers. So any input how you do this would be helpful. Do you receive an N1_04 (PR "Payer") code (most likely a DUNS+4 or GLN)?
