329 - Transaction Set Control Number

On this topic:

 

Technical Notes

  1. The 329 data element stores the control number for the transaction set in the Transaction Set Header (ST) and Trailer (SE).  The control number must match for the header and trailer in one transaction set.  When Framework EDI, creates the transaction set, the control number is determined by the incremental count of transaction sets in the functional group.  This is the default value and may not be correct for the organization, so it should by overwritten where applicable.
