EDI Basics

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to create EDI data using  TypedDocuments and C#.Net.  TypedDocuments enable developers to use typed EDI objects to create data.  Instead of having to worry about arrays, indexes and strings we can create EDI data in a higher object oriented fashion. The Code Typed5010Document sampleEDIFile = new Typed5010Document(); //Or Typed4010Document // Puts the […]

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how generate a 999 or 997 Acknowledgement EDI using NodeJS.  After validating EDI data using the EDIValidator component acknowledgment data can be generated. EDIValidator takes two parameters, a validation rules file and the EDI data to validate.   The overall validation process looks like the diagram below.     A validation rule file

Creating EDI data is simple using the EDILightWeightDocument component. Simply create an instance, set its loops and segments, and call its generateEDIData() method. The EDILightWeightDocument structure is based on a loop hierarchy. Loops contain segments and other loops. Segments contain elements. Elements contains data and composite elements. This example creates an EDILightWeightDocument instance, set its

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to validate Typed Documents as we’re creating them. Typed Documents allows you to create EDI documents using high level objects and an easy to understand structure.  Please read this blog if you want to learn how to use Typed Documents to create EDI files. After creating a Typed Document

RDPCrystal EDI Library can validate any type of EDI element data.   By default elements can be of the following data types ID String Date Time Numeric Real Positive Numbers ( rarely used ) Negative Numbers ( rarely used ) If an element has one of the above types then EDI Validator will output an error if the

In this tutorial we’ll discuss how to do Summary Balancing validation on EDI data. In some EDI transactions there is a top level segment that contains an element whose value represents the total amount of some kind.  For example, in an 837 Professional Health care claim transaction there is a CLM segment whose second element

Let’s discuss how the EDIValidator component works.  EDIValidator is arguably one of the most important components in RDPCrystal EDI Library.  It takes two parameters, a validation rules file and an EDI file ( or string ) to validate.      EDIValidator gets all the information it needs from validation rule files.  A validation rule file

PDF documents are used by many organizations to both display and print health care claim forms like CMS-1500 and UB-04.   Fillable PDF documents, also called PDF forms, are used to allow users the both view and edit documents before saving or printing.  PDF forms are sometimes displayed directly in internet browsers. EDI data from an

Don’t find yourself pouting, or even crying for that matter. Did you know that you can create EDI validation rules and test them at the same time?  If not, then check out the Rules Tester section of the EDI Rules Creator Studio Application This easy to use tool has saved developers thousands of hours (

Background As you know the EDIValidator component uses rules files to validate EDI data.  You can specify rather complex conditions.  For example +SegPos[322] = if ((SegPos[316:1] == “R”) or (SegPos[316:1] == “S”)) then Usage[Required] else Usage[Optional] end This rules says that segment number 322’s usage depends on whether the condition in the if statement is true.  The following example also contains else if
