A client, an ultra large retailer, is having issues with my translator
converting a real element (type is "R") value. The element is
defined such:
<dataElement name="Unit Price" id="212" sequence="4"
description="Price per unit of product, service, commodity, etc."
type="R" required="X" minLength="1" maxLength="17"
xmlTag="unitPrice"/>
Incoming the value is "15.00." The translator outputs the value as
"15" (sans decimal point and trailing zeros).
Should the translator drop or keep trailing zeros and decimal point
for outgoing messages?
Is there a definitive X12 specification on how to treat reals? I
can't find any rules on reals in any X12 related documentation or website.
Thanks in advance,
Joe McVerry
