The different EDI segments available to fill out.
EDI Envelopes are segments that enclose various types of information within. Below you will see the different EDI Envelopes that conform each EDI file.
oISA Segment — The Interchange Control Header (ISA) segment contains the outermost envelope of the EDI file and it represents data that is required to read an EDI file. Listed here are the sender and receiver, the date and time, whether a response is expected and which characters to use as segment, and the element and sub-element separator. The data in black may be changed, while grayed-out data is determined by the Company Setup configurations.
The "ISA segment" box.
oGS Segment — The Group Start (GS) segment contains transaction-specific information, such as which transaction sets are in this file and also information on the creation (Sender code) and consumption (Receiver Code) of the EDI files. Group control number and version will be auto-populated since this information depends on the claim type.
The "GS segment" box.
oST Segment — The Start of Transaction Set (ST) segment lists the transaction set code and a unique identifier for the transaction.

The "ST segment" box.
oInformation Source Name (NM1 2010A) Segment — The Information Source Name (NM1 2010A) segment lists the entity type for the trading partner.
