摘要

This an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) systems design document that describesthe standard or convention the Department of Defense (DoD) will use to accept a transportation invoice using the ASC X12.139 Transaction Set 410 Rail Carrier Invoice (003020). It contains information for the design of interface computer programs that serve to link systems application computer programs and an EDI translator computer program. Computer programmers can use this document to identify the data in a populated EDI transaction data requirements of their specific application database. Conversely, programmers can identify where their applications data requirement should be carried in an EDI transaction. There are more ways to populate an EDI transaction than there are ways to fill out a blank form. A convention defines the rules for filling in or populating an EDI transaction with a specific data set. Following a convection ensures the integrity of data that is produced and processed by EDI capable computer systems.
