Name
To identify a party by type of organization, name, and code
It is strongly encouraged that the trading partners codify all addresses within their systems through use of N103 and N104. The use of codes would eliminate the need for transmittal of the N2, N3 and N4 segments below.
Example: N1BTCOMPUTER RESELLER911234567891234

Code designating the system/method of code structure used for Identification Code (67)
CompTIA recommends the use of a Dun & Bradstreet (DUNS) Number to identify the trading partners. D & B assigns a nine-digit identifier to each trading partner. The trading partner then assigns a four-digit (DUNS+4) code to uniquely identify the specific location, e.g., 0000 may be corporate offices, 0001 may be a central warehouse, 0002 may be one of the trading partners' sites.
- 91
- Assigned by Seller or Seller's Agent
Code identifying a party or other code
- 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.
Additional Name Information
To specify additional names or those longer than 35 characters in length
Example: N2*BUYER
Address Information
To specify the location of the named party
Example: N3*123 MAIN STREET
Geographic Location
To specify the geographic place of the named party
Example: N4CEDAR RAPIDSIA*524032140
Free-form text for city name
- A combination of either N401 through N404, or N405 and N406 may be adequate to specify a location.
Code (Standard State/Province) as defined by appropriate government agency
- N402 is required only if city name (N401) is in the U.S. or Canada.
Code defining international postal zone code excluding punctuation and blanks (zip code for United States)
Code identifying the country
For US and Canadian locations CompTIA does not recommend the use of N404. For non-US/Canadian locations the two-character country code qualifier established by ISO 3166 (E/F) should be used. ISO 3166 : 1988 (E/F) is available from: American National Standards Institute, 11 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036, Telephone: 212 642-4900, FAX: 212 302-1286.
Administrative Communications Contact
To identify a person or office to whom administrative communications should be directed
In this Header position of the Invoice X12 EDI document, this segment identifies the parties responsible for originating the invoice.
Example: PERCNJSMITH
Terms of Sale/Deferred Terms of Sale
To specify terms of sale
In this Header position of the Invoice X12 EDI document, this segment is used to specify terms of the invoice. In the transitional period for the microcomputer industry, from paper to full automated EDI transactions, there may be a perceived need to send text data with the terms. Clearly the goal is to have the entire microcomputer industry participating in EDI. Therefore, if text data is needed to be sent for terms, ITD 12 will contain the free form text. If additional text is needed, additional ITD segments should be used.
Example: ITD14345Up to 03/15/2007 without deduction
Code identifying type of payment terms
- If the code in ITD01 is "04", then ITD07 or ITD09 is required and either ITD10 or ITD11 is required; if the code in ITD01 is "05", then ITD06 or ITD07 is required.
- 14
- Previously agreed upon
Code identifying the beginning of the terms period
- 3
- Invoice Date

A free-form description to clarify the related data elements and their content
Date/Time Reference
To specify pertinent dates and times
In this Header position of the Invoice X12 EDI document, this segment identifies the pertinent shipping date.
Example: DTM01120070129
Detail
Baseline Item Data (Invoice)
To specify the basic and most frequently used line item data for the invoice and related transactions
At the Item Level, this segment can be used to identify either the basic unit (SKU) or at a bundle/kit/product configuration level which is further broken down into components. The components would be listed in the SLN loop following this segment.
For example, a computer (item level) may have individual components which may be separately identified (CPU, hard disk, monitor, keyboard, etc.). Another example could be a group of software products which have been grouped together for sale as one unit, e.g., a spreadsheet program and a report writer or a virus program with a utility program.
In this Detail position of the Invoice X12 EDI document, this segment identifies the quantity, unit price, and product codes of the items being invoiced. CompTIA recommends the use of UPC code in UCC/EAN formats. Product descriptions would appear in a corresponding and subsequent PID segment.
Partners P.O. Line Item Number will be sent in the IT101 in the invoice when applicable. If Partner P.O. Line Item Number does not exist in Adobe’s Ordering System, then Adobe’s Invoice Line Item Number will be sent.
For Adobe's AVL 5.0 Licensing Program (October 2009), the Adobe SKU in the IT107 will extend to 15 digits.
Examples:
IT10000102773EA41CPVP09972555BP1234567UP*5029766636242 (Adobe Shrink Wrap SKU)
IT10000102773EA41CPVP09972555A4BP1234567UP*5029766636242 (Adobe AVL 4.5 Licensing ProgramSKU)

Alphanumeric characters assigned for differentiation within a transaction set
- IT101 is the purchase order line item identification.
Original Line Number from PO.
Number of units invoiced (supplier units)
Code specifying the units in which a value is being expressed, or manner in which a measurement has been taken
Unit of Measure listed should be the same unit of measure listed in the Purchase Order.
- EA
- Each
Price per unit of product, service, commodity, etc.
Rate charged per unit of measure less discount percent, but not to include order level discounts or allowances. The price is expressed in dollars. The decimal point is required if the price is not in whole dollars. The price would be sent with a decimal point only when needed, e.g., $15.95 would be sent as "15.95", and $29.00 would be sent as "29". To indicate free goods, use a single zero (0) with code NC as the value in IT105.
Code identifying the type of unit price for an item
This data element is used to clarify or alter the basis of unit price. The unit price expressed in IT104 is always in the same terms as the unit of measure in IT103, unless otherwise specified in IT105.
- CP
- Current Price (Subject to Change)
Code identifying the type/source of the descriptive number used in Product/Service ID (234)
- IT106 through IT125 provide for ten different product/service IDs for each item. For example: Case, Color, Drawing No., U.P.C. No., ISBN No., Model No., or SKU.
CompTIA recommends the use of supplier part numbers in either UPC, EAN, or Code 39 with FACT Data Identifier formats. Transitional use of the customer's part numbers may facilitate the cross-referencing of supplier part numbers to the customer's part numbers. The customer's part numbers should be phased out and replaced with supplier part numbers. All suppliers will need either a manufacturer's identification assigned by the Uniform Code Council or the appropriate EAN authority or a publisher identification assigned by the appropriate ISBN agency. Contact CompTIA for information on these coding structures.
Use VX when using a "bundle" or "kit" number to indicate that SLN segments will follow with related component numbers.
The vendor's Mfr. ID# is used conditionally when IT106 reflects "MG".
- VP
- Vendor's (Seller's) Part Number
Identifying number for a product or service
Code identifying the type/source of the descriptive number used in Product/Service ID (234)

Service, Promotion, Allowance, or Charge Information
To request or identify a service, promotion, allowance, or charge; to specify the amount or percentage for the service, promotion, allowance, or charge
At this Summary level within the Invoice X12 EDI document, this segment will indicate in ITA01 if it is allowances or charges. One segment per allowance or charge. This segment applies to the entire transaction. The allowances/charges specified at the summary level are exclusive of the allowances/charges specified in any other areas; they are not the sum of the allowances/charges specified in the detail areas. ITA07 is required when using the ITA segment in the microcomputer industry. This will resolve any differences between the sender's and receiver's system calculations of amounts, e.g., rounding errors when allowances/charges are expressed in percentages or rates.
Example: SACCD240***888
Code which indicates an allowance or charge for the service specified
- If SAC01 is "A" or "C", then at least one of SAC05, SAC07, or SAC08 is required.

- SAC10 and SAC11 used together indicate a quantity range, which could be a dollar amount, that is applicable to service, promotion, allowance, or charge.
- In some business applications, it is necessary to advise the trading partner of the actual dollar amount that a particular allowance, charge, or promotion was based on to reduce ambiguity. This amount is commonly referred to as "Dollar Basis Amount". It is represented in the SAC segment in SAC10 using the qualifier "DO" - Dollars in SAC09.
