Auto-Create Implementation Data Segment Note (IK3)

An Implementation Data Segment Note (IK3) is created when an error is encountered in a data segment in a transaction set of the subject document.  This data segment is not present in the acknowledgment if no error is found in any data segment of the transaction set.
POSITION ELEMENT ID DESCRIPTION CONSTRUCT INFO
01 721  Segment ID Code The identifier of the data segment that has the error is assigned here.
02 719  Segment Position in Transaction Set The position in the transaction set of the data segment that is in error.
03 447  Loop Identifier Code The loop ID of the segment group that the data segment belongs to.
04 620  Implementation Segment Syntax Error Code Syntax error code that has been translated from the standard error code of the data segment error.

CTX.  If the error is generated as a result of a condition in a semantic rule not met, then the Context (CTX) is created as follows:
POSITION ELEMENT ID DESCRIPTION CONSTRUCT INFO
01 C998 Context Identification By default, this is empty.  

NOTE: For HIPAA specifications, the SEF file is modified to fill the context information here as required by HIPAA.
02 721 Segment ID Code The identifier of the data segment in error is assigned here.
03 719 Segment Position in Transaction Set The position in the transaction set of the data segment in error is assigned here.  The transaction set header is position 1.
04 447 Loop Identifier Code The identifier of the data segment, that triggers the start of a loop and where the data element in error belongs to, is assigned here.
05 C030 Position in Segment Not applicable in IK3.
06 C999 Reference in Segment By default, this is empty.  

NOTE: For HIPAA specifications, the SEF file is modified to fill the context information here as required by HIPAA.

 

The example below shows where the AK2 data segment populates its data from the ST data segment.
