Rachel, I would be glad to begin working on a draft list of specific terms and definitions for this project. Can we start with Ron's proposed interchange sender/receiver definitions?
>>INTERCHANGE(ISA) SENDER: Entity responsible for preparing the transaction sets (ST/SE) into functional groups (GS/GE) and interchange controls (ISA/IEA) for transmission to the INTERCHANGE RECEIVER and for resolving a functional acknowledgment (997) that contains errors regarding the interchange. >> >>INTERCHANGE RECEIVER: Entity responsible for processing the function group and transaction sets (GS/GE, ST/SE) within an interchange control (ISA/IEA) and sending a functional acknowledgment (997) back to the ISA SENDER.<< -Chris Christopher J.
