Hmmm.... Why is it that nobody has suggested a really obvious concept...?
In the 810 Invoice standard, you also have the N9 loop with a MSG segment. The MSG segment is 264 characters long. Within the N9 segment and the Reference ID Qualifier, I'm pretty sure you can find SOME kind of ID for the State of California or similar. With at least700 possible codes, you're bound to find SOME kind of data qualifier - even if it's just "RGI - Regulatory Guideline Identifier with the regulation in the next element. Sort of like this: N9*Qualifier (3 chars)*Ref Identification (30 Chars)*Freeform text (45 characters)*date*time*time code*ref id* MSG*264 characters of message text*Printer Code (2 chars)*number (generic 9 characters) As for a "trading partner by trading partner" scenario, you may not want to go that route - depending on how many TPs you have AND how many are impacted by the regulation AND how many different places that they would prefer it. Some MAY want it in the PID or the SAC or any of the other suggestions. But, if it is, as was mentioned, a CYA moment, I think that the N9 and MSG segments would be your best bet and far easier to map. And it would cause the least amount of drama on the TPs side.

Something like this: "Supplied pursuant to the Sell Through Provision of the California Formaldehyde ATCM" I need to know where to map it and no one knows what I'm talking about.
