ANSI X12 Standards |
|
In this section you will learn the standards terminology and how to read the standards documentation.
It's important to consider who in your organization should be able to read the ANSI X12 documentation. Project management should be aware of what the standards documents do and what their goals are, but rarely do they need to know how to read through the tables.
People implementing the system, however, need to be thoroughly familiar with the standards books and their use.
It's also important to understand that any organization will only be
using a small portion of what they find in the ANSI X12 standard. The standard
is comprehensive but specific industries or business need only a small
subset of what is documented. The rule of thumb is to use only what you
need and leave out the rest.
