TA1 and ISA14 Connection
Description

I would like to see if I could receive clarity on the connection between the TA1 and the ISA14.  I am unable to find the qualifier with description of the ISA14 within the TR3.

Scenario

I have read many articles and have come to see the majority state that

ISA14= 0  TA1 is sent only when there is an error within the Header or Footer 
ISA14=1    TA1 is always sent 

Also, I have seen sometimes the 999 w/TA1 includes the GS segment, is this correct? From Reading B.1.1.5.1 there should not be a GS/GE envelope 

EXAMPLE
ISA*00*          *00*          *ZZ*000000000      *ZZ*000000000     *210413*1714*$*00501*000000317*0*T*>~
TA1*000000317*210413*1714*R*022~
IEA*1*000000317~

RFI Response

The qualifiers are all in the X12 standard. Additional information can be found in X12's Acknowledgment Reference Model. The example given is correct, there should not be a GS before the TA1.
