ASC/X12 Reference
718 - Transaction Set Syntax Error Code

On this topic:

 

Technical Notes

  1. The 718 data element in a functional acknowledgment records any error found in the transaction set level. When the functional acknowledgment is enabled, the Transaction Set Response Trailer (AK5) data segment is created.  If error(s) are found, a 718 data element is created and each error is recorded in the data element.  The number of 718 data elements created depends on how much the AK5 is defined to hold.  If no errors are found, this data element is not present in the AK5 segment.
  2. When a syntax error is discovered by Framework EDI (FREDI), the error has a standard error code (SEC) relevant to the operation of FREDI only.  This SEC is mapped to one of the syntax error code below that is then eventually stored in the data element.
