Henderson, M M; Lewis, A P

This document establishes a baseline of DoD's conventions for implementing the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 uniform standard for the electronic interchange of business transaction. The DoD transaction set conventions are defined. It includes the instructions for implementing the control structure and definitions of the usage indicators and applicable codes. In addition to the communication control structure, the EDI structure provides the standards user with multiple levels of control to ensure data integrity. It does so by using header and trailer control segments designed to identify uniquely the start and end of the interchange functional groups and transaction sets.
