Lissa and Yugandhar, Also a good answer. And yes, consult the EDI or file specs is always necessary to complete step 1 of my last response. In some cases, you have similar questions for a customer sending you an order FF - it all needs to be mapped and yes you have to have matching specs to complete that task/step.
I did a 10 month contract at Lilly Pharmaceutical in Indianapolis and set up multiple test cases. But I wouldn't begin to offer direction on test cases for another industry. Usually when you get into test cases, all the other areas you identified come into practice. Lilly has an entire CSV (Computer System Validation) process that includes all of those areas and then some, as I'm sure the DoD has as well. Various industries such as defense or pharmaceutical have very stringent validation, including business & test case for both internal controls and to meet those for higher requirements (i.e. federal government, etc.) Oh gee.. 856's complicated?? Who would have thought!#@%!... LOL Have a great week.

Well said Ken. Also, don't forget to consult the EDI Implementation Guide, has one been created? It is a snapshot of the ANSI X12 856 that outlines the specifics for internal use (between trading partners). -the guide should define the exact segments and internal qualifiers agreed upon by both parties (not the whole X12 list) -the guide will help you to ensure compliance is met in the header, detail and summary portions of the transaction set -do you have any business use cases to follow? -is there a testing plan? I worked on a Dept. of Defense contract for 13 years and the 856 was the main logistics transaction set that we used/tested/implemented. Good luck with the HL loops, can get complicated sometimes.

Your ultimate test (case) is if it passes testing and meets the customer specs... 1. Completing your own personal testing during (map) development, 2. Submitting and pass testing with your Trading Partner or 3rd party test company. 3. For inbound EDI, the final test comes when you move into production and start receiving qualifiers that were not part of the tests and/or EDI Specs. If you are actually looking to build a test case, you may want to check with who you work with and modify an existing 856 test case to meet the requirements of the new Trading Partner. I have some experience with setting up and executing test cases, but wouldn't begin to offer direction in this forum... Test cases are at least partially defined by each company's processes, but in the end, the ultimate test or question is does it meet your trading partner specs & requirements AND especially for 856's, did your customer receive it on time?
