Re: 856 Standard vs Pick and Pack Structure
did someone say 856? a subject near and dear to my heart.
There are a couple very simple ways to use either a qualifier or the
heirarchial structure in the 856 itself to determine how the data
relates to the real world.
For the qualifier, just use the BSN05 to designate the heirarchy in
the message, or in the HL loops, you can use the numbering &
child/parent information in HL01 and HL02 to tell you how things are
built.
dB-wise, you need to create a structure that allows for the
definition of the data structures being sent so that when you pipe
the information down to your end user you give them the right
information.
I hope that helps. Feel free to ping me with any specific questions.
Cheers,
Kyle
