Segment Directory |
|
The Segment Directory provides details for each segment used in a transaction set.
Some transaction sets support literally hundreds of segments, many (or most) of which are not useful to a particular application or industry. It's important to agree with your trading partner which segments will be used in designing the EDI documents.
Segments are used only if they are appropriate for a particular application.
Determining which transaction sets to use is a collaborative process undertaken
between trading partners.
