Michael, Going beyond the health care transactions is out of scope. If we dabble beyond that we'll have a monumental scope creep that will be a major barrier to delivering any useful work product within any reasonable time frame that will serve the needs of the industry **now** as it struggles to implement the requirements of HIPAA and begin testing by April 1, 2003. That's why it's essential that requirements first be determined and agreed to, else one can't manage a project to any successful conclusion within any expected timeframe to solve a business need.
If at some future date this group's focus moves into the supply chain, then it can determine requirements and make any appropriate modifications to the resultant work product.

A. I understand the need to get "address" must be something simple, but the "capabilities" will perforce require the collection of data at the transaction set level. Even if this is limited to the HIPAA circumstance (and see below to un-limit), the allowable variations and what I know from the real world tell me we'll need this much detail. Ten bucks sez someone is going to have separate interchange (ISA) and/or application (GS) ID's for different documents.Some Payers will accept realtime eligibility requests, some will accept batch, some will accept both. Some payers will accept 837 professional claims prior to accepting 837 Institutional claims. Yadda, Yadda.... B. Why limit this to healthcare? Surely, it would be nice to know if Company X accepts 850 PO's and if so, what are the rules... Q: DO YOU ACCEPT 850 PO's? A: Yes, ANSI 004010, ISA receiver qual/id= whatever, Sterling VAN, no SDQ, Limit 100 Line items, ItemQual = VN If I have their catalog (or got the Vendor part number from their web site or a service like QRS,) I can give him the part number he wants. CONCEDED... credit is a problem. But suppose I specify to ship COD (ITD segment)? Michael Mattias Tal Systems, Inc. Racine WI [EMAIL PROTECTED]
