UCF Group response

To identify a group in the subject interchange and to indicate acknowledgement or rejection (action taken) of the UNG and UNE segments, and to identify any error related to these segments. It can also identify errors related to the USA, USC, USD, USH, USR, UST, or USU security segments when they appear at the group level. Depending on the action code, it may also indicate the action taken on the messages and packages within that group.

070 S011 Data element identification Composite (composite) Conditional 1

Position: 010 · Element: 0098 · Name: Erroneous data element position in segment · Type: Numeric (N) · Requirement: Mandatory · Min: 1 · Max: 3 · Repeat: -

The numerical count position of the stand-alone or composite data element in error. The segment code and each following stand-alone or composite data element defined in the segment description shall cause the count to be incremented. The segment tag has position number 1.

Position: 020 · Element: 0104 · Name: Erroneous component data element position · Type: Numeric (N) · Requirement: Conditional · Min: 1 · Max: 3 · Repeat: -

The numerical count position of the component data element in error. Each component data element position defined in the composite data element description shall cause the count to be incremented. The count starts at 1.

Position: 030 · Element: 0136 · Name: Erroneous data element occurrence · Type: Numeric (N) · Requirement: Conditional · Min: 1 · Max: 6 · Repeat: -

The numerical occurrence of the repeating stand-alone or composite data element in error. Each occurrence (as indicated by the repetition separator) shall cause the count to be incremented. The count starts at 1.

Position: 080 · Element: 0534 · Name: Security reference number · Type: String (AN) · Requirement: Conditional · Min: 1 · Max: 14 · Repeat: 1

Unique reference number assigned by the security originator to a pair of security header and security trailer groups.

The value shall be arbitrarily assigned, but the same value shall not be used more than once within the same EDIFACT structure, I.e. interchange, group, message or package.

Position: 090 · Element: 0138 · Name: Security segment position · Type: Numeric (N) · Requirement: Conditional · Min: 1 · Max: 6 · Repeat: 1

The numerical count position of a specific security segment that is within the actual received security header/trailer segment group pair, identified by its security reference number. The numbering starts with, and includes, the USH segment as segment number 1. To identify a security segment that contains an error, this is the numerical count position of that security segment. To report that a security segment is missing, this is the numerical count position of the last security segment that was processed before the position where the missing security segment was expected to be. A missing security segment group is denoted by identifying the first segment in the security segment group as missing.
