Chapter 1 B2B-X12 Overview : Acknowledgements

Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements for X12 documents fall into three categories:
You must have an agreement with your trading partner in order to use acknowledgements.
Delivery Acknowledgements
There are two interchange delivery acknowledgements:
An interchange acknowledge segment (TA1) reports the receipt of the contents of one interchange control header and trailer envelope in which the envelope surrounds one or more functional groups. The TA1 reports the results of the syntactical analysis of the interchange control header and trailer. Each interchange exchanged between trading partners may contain interchange-level control segments (TA1s) related to prior interchanges.
An interchange delivery notice (TA3) reports the delivery status of a document, when an intermediary is used to transfer documents between an interchange sender and interchange receiver.
Syntactic Response Acknowledgements
There are two syntactic response acknowledgements:
The functional acknowledgement (997) describes the syntax-level acknowledgement of the receipt of an X12 functional group.
The implementation acknowledgement (999) is first available in the X12 004061 subrelease. It is used for reporting the status of implementation guide syntax edits.
Business Application Acknowledgements
There are two types of business application acknowledgements:
The application advice (824) reports the results of an application system's data content edits on a transaction set. The results of editing transaction sets can be reported at the functional group and transaction set level, in either coded or free-form format.
The 824 is designed to report the following for a transaction set:
The status of a transaction set can also be reported by using a specific response transaction set as a response to the original transaction set.
The following are examples of transaction set pairs where the status of the original transaction set is indicated in the response transaction set:
