28 - Group Control Number

On this topic:

 

Technical Notes

  1. The 28 data element stores the control number for the functional group in the Functional Group Header (GS) and Trailer (GE).  The control number must match for the header and trailer in one functional group.  When Framework EDI, creates the functional group, the control number is determined by the incremental count of functional group in the transaction set.  This is the default value and may not be correct for the organization, so it should by overwritten where applicable.
