Trading Partner ID

[Martin Scholl]

I have a conceptual problem with the different Sender and Receiver IDs.   If I receive a transaction, I key the trading partner to the ISA_06 element.  Under this number I record the transmission mode, like ftp or email or dial-up, passwords etc. Then I have another Sender ID in the GS_02.  Should this be the same as ISA_06? The IG recommends to define this in the trading partner agreement.  My feeling would be to make these numbers identical or could they identify different departments within the trading partner's organization? are they subordinate to ISA_06? Then in the 837 I also have this pesky 1000A loop with another set of Sender IDs.  Again, I would intuitively think that this could be the same as ISA_06 and GS_02.   For me the issue is: What do I use as a unique key to store trading partner rules and information under? What do others in the field do?   Martin Scholl Scholl Consulting Group, Inc. 301-924-5537 Tel 301-570-0139 Fax [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.SchollConsulting.com
