Segment Notes:

This segment is used to provide free form or coded text information related to the entire message.

Use of this segment in free form is not recommended since it may inhibit automatic processing of the Forwarding and Consolidated Summary. Coded references to standard texts is an available functionality which enables automatic processing and reduces transmission overheads. Standard texts should be mutually defined between trading partners and can be used to cover legal or other requirements.

Example :

FTX+AAI+1+002'

(Code value 002 = Please ensure complete delivery on requested date.)

Dependency Notes :

DE C107: This composite is only used when trading partners have agreed to use mutually defined code values.

DE C108: This composite is only used if coded text can not be used.

DE 3453: This data element is only used when non coded free text has been provided in data element C108.
