Reporting same error twice
Description
If I get a transaction set that has no SE segment, I would report that in my 999 with IK502 error code 2. But since this is a required segment that is missing, should I also report this in IK304 with error code 3? But if I report the error in both places, I'm guilty of redundancy. Please advise.
RFI Response
Both referenced codes are appropriate for the error you describe. There is no "guilt" being redundant. The standard is silent on the depth of reporting. Thus, there is no concept of redundancy of error reporting in the ASC X12 Standards. Not guilty of redundancy if error reported in multiple cases Both referenced code values are suitable for the error you describe. There is no guilt in being redundant.
