Technical Notes

  1. The AK4 data segment is created in the functional acknowledgment when an error is found in a data element in the subject document.  If the functional acknowledgment is enabled, the Functional Acknowledgment (997) is created automatically.  This data segment is then created in the transaction set for each data element error found in the subject document.  The error is recorded in Data Element Syntax Error Code (723) data element.  This data segment is not present if no error is found.
