Application Advice

Based on the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 format, the 824 is used to report the results of an application system's data content edits of transaction sets. The results of the edited transaction sets can be reported at the functional group and transaction set levels, either in coded or free-form format. The application Advice is designed to accommodate the business needs of reporting the acceptance, rejection or acceptance with change, of any transaction set and should not be used in place of a transaction set designed as a specific response to another transaction set (e.g., purchase order acknowledgment sent in response to a purchase order).
