Amount fields to be empty if they are zero?
I have a supplier who thinks an amount field, such as SAC05, must be
null if its value is zero.
For example, if you're using SAC to represent a shipping charge, and
the line item had free shipping, and you still needed to state that
charge of zero, I would expect to see:
SAC*C*G830***0**********Free shipping*EN~
or possibly
SAC*C*G830***000**********Free shipping*EN~
(SAC05 is N2)
But this supplier thinks that putting a value of 0 in the numeric
element is against the X12 004010 standard.
A value specified to be zero is not unknown.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks,
Andrew
