SEF (Standards Exchange Format) files are repositories of standards information that define the format of EDI documents. SEF files are the basis for the compliance check engine that EDI Exchange uses. These files contain all rules of the implementation guide of a transaction. There is a SEF file for each transaction that EDI Exchange is licensed for. For example, for 837 transactions we have SEF files for institutional, professional and dental claims in 4010, 4010A1 and 5010A1 version and the 997 and 999 transactions.
