Yes, this is a perfectly X12-valid set of segments, making up two complete interchanges. Each ISA/IEA pair envelopes one interchange. > If this is a valid sequence, is an entity considered to be non-compliant if > they are unable to accept a multiple ISA/IEA enveloping structure? >From a pure X12 standpoint, any receiver that cannot accept two consecutive interchanges has a fairly broken translator. There may be trading partner considerations of course ...
