Error 14094

There is more component elements than expected in composite structure '<composite id>'

Description

More data exists in the document for the number of component elements that is defined for composite element with composite id.  Normally each data in the document corresponds one-to-one with the component elements of the composite element as defined in the implementation guideline.  That way each data with a matching definition has meaning, and can be syntactically verified.  Additional data, therefore, are undefined and cannot be verified.  This error is generated as a consequence.

For example, in ASC/X12, consider the following data segment definition Measurements (MEA) which has a composite element C001.

The following MEA data segment in the document  generates the error because there is more data than component elements of C001.
