The following sample will serve to illustrate some of the points in our tutorial and will be referenced where needed. The data below is formatted for clarity. EDI data will normally be left justified and if the data is wrapped will be on one long line.

There are three transaction set numbers (illustarted above by different colors) within an EDI document. The set numbers are included on the ISA/IEA, the GS/GE, and the ST/SE segments. Note that the set numbers of the same color are the same, signifying a successful transmission of data. For purposes of our functional acknowledgments the number reference can either be the GS set number (21111) or the ST set number (0001).
