X12 824 Application Advice

X12 Release 4060

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).

Original Transaction Identification

RequiredMax use 1

To identify the edited transaction set and the level at which the results of the edit are reported, and to indicate the accepted, rejected, or accepted-with-change edit result

  • The OTI loop is intended to provide a unique identification of the transaction set that is the subject of this application acknowledgment.
Example
OTI-01
110
Application Acknowledgment Code
Required
Identifier (ID)

Code indicating the application system edit results of the business data

Usage notes

If OTI01=TE, the 855 was accepted with errors; the trading partner should not resend the Reverse PO unless the trading partner determines it is necessary.

If OTI01=TR, the 855 was rejected; the trading partner should correct the Reverse PO and resend it.

The TED segment can be sent up to 25 times within the OTI loop for an 824. If multiple TED segments are sent and one of the errors cause the
855 to reject, then the OTI01 will include a TR value.

After the Original 855 is transmitted, all subsequent 855s should be sent as a 855 Change ONLY IF the Original 855 rejected and did not post to Lowe's systems.

For both TE and TR codes, the trading partner should review the error message included in the TED segment, and make the necessary system
application changes to eliminate the error on future 855 transactions.
