Comments:
| 1. | This segment, used alone, provides the most efficient method of providing organizational identification. To obtain this efficiency the "ID Code" (N104) must provide a key to the table maintained by the transaction processing party. |
|
Example: N1*ST**1*112233445~ |
|
I/C Note: When the ship to is a drop shipment N103 and N104 are not needed. Therefore complete ship to address must be provided in the N2, N3, and N4 segments. When the ship to is not a drop shipment and the DUNS number is provided in N104 then N2, N3, and N4 are not needed. Codes BY and BT in N101 are only needed when specifying a variance from the normal business relationship. |
