I received my answer via private email I believe. The ETIN is an
indentification number 'agreed upon' via the Trading Partner
Agreement. This seems to mean that the receiver (since they usually
originate the TPA) gets to decide on the acceptable value. The most
frequent value I've seen used is the Federal Tax ID. My reason for
asking the question is I received my first C.G. with a non-TaxId value
assigned for the receiver ID.

I believe these are required loops? The notes from Edifecs state that
this is a required loop.

The ISA fields relate to who actually sends/receives the transactions.
If the sender or receiver is a clearinghouse, billing service, etc. their
number appears in the ISA field and the orginator or destination of the
information appears in the 1000A and 1000B loops respectively.
