X12 824 Application Advice

X12 Release 5010

This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Application Advice Transaction Set (824) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide the ability to report the results of an application system's data content edits of transaction sets. The results of editing transaction sets can be reported at the functional group and transaction set level, in either coded or free-form format. It is designed to accommodate the business need of reporting the acceptance, rejection or acceptance with change of any transaction set. The Application Advice should not be used in place of a transaction set designed as a specific response to another transaction set (e.g., purchase order acknowledgment sent in response to a purchase order).

  • The RED segment may be used to provide data related to the error condition specified in the associated TED01 element.
Usage notes

A free-form description to clarify the related data elements and their content

  • RED01 provides the related business data, whose nature is defined by the code in RED02 or RED06.
  • As an example of the use of the RED01 element, an application edit is applied to the Unit Price element within an Invoice (810) transaction set. The result of that edit indicates an invalid unit price. One piece of related business data would be the associated Product or Service Identification (data element #234). In this example, RED01 would be used to convey the associated Product or Service Identification.
