The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s Information Technology Laboratory (ITL)

develops standards and guidelines, provides technical assistance, and conducts research for computers

and resources. As part of the overall federal effort to establish a single face to industry for conducting

electronic commerce, ITL has been designated as the organization responsible for coordinating the

development of Federal Implementation Conventions (ICs) for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). ICs are

defined by functional-area experts who create and select options from standard EDI Transaction Sets to

yield the implementations to be used for practical EDI. These ICs are made available to federal agencies

and industry by electronic means and this Special Publication Series.

FOREWORD

In a memorandum of October 26, 1993, the President sought to stimulate the Federal Government's deployment of

Electronic Commerce in order to simplify and streamline the acquisition process. In this regard, the President set forth the following objectives:

0 Exchange acquisition information electronically between the private seaor and the Federal Govermnent to the

maximum extent practicable.

o Provide businesses, including small, small disadvantaged, and woman-owned businesses, with greater access to Federal acquisition opportunities.

0 Ensure that potential suppliers are provided simplified access to the Federal Government's EC system.

o Employ nationally and internationally recognized data formats that serve to broaden and ease the interchange of

data.

0 Use agency and industry systems and networics to enable the government and potential suppUers to exchange

information and access Federal acquisition data.

As part of the Federal Goverrmient wide effort to implement EC, NIST has been given the responsibiUty of coordinating

the development and promulgation of Implementation Conventions for the functional areas of EC which will be deployed

across the Agencies.

Various Agencies have been actively pursuing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for several years - the DoD, GSA,

Customs and HHS, for instance, have been particularly active in adopting ANSI X12 standards, and looking ahead to EDIFACT. There became a danger that with fiagmentation of usage across the Federal Government a significant burden

would be placed on many small businesses to support an unnecessary profusion offormats and conventions.

In the Presidential Memorandum, President Clinton required Federal agencies to implement the use of electronic commerce in Federal purchases as quickly as possible. As the initial step, the President's Management Council (PMC)

Electronic Commerce Task Force (ECTF), chaired by the Administrator, OfiBce of Federal Procurement PoUcy (OFPP),

chartered the Federal Electronic Commerce Acquisition Team (ECAT) to complete the first milestone of the President's

memorandum. The PMC assigned the Electronic Commerce Acquisition Team, composed of representatives fi^om

various Federal departments and agencies, the task of defining the architecture for the government electronic commerce

acquisition system and identiifying the executive departments or agencies responsible for developing, implementing,

operating, and maintaining the Federal electronic system.

Another key step in the implementation of EDI in the Federal Government relies on the definition of

Implementation Conventions (ICs). EDI syntax standards, both ASC XI 2 and UN/EDIFACT, accommodate a fiill range of business activities for all industries. A standard is the result of a consensus among a large number of

users, each with its own set of needs. It is a sujierset intended to meet the diverse requirements of all users. Standards commonly contain more data elements and structiu-e options than any one user or industry needs. Far

too many opportunities exist for inefficient, or ambiguous transactions. Therefore, actual EDI business processes

require implementation conventions (ICs) to fully define transactions. ICs do that by tailoring the use of the

standards' segments, data elements, and code values and providing a subset menu of those distinct parts. This

Special Publication defines a Federal IC based on ASC X12 Version 3050 and is the result of coordinated

development and adoption within the Federal Government.

824 Application Advice

Functional Group ID=AG

Introduction:

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Application Advice

Transaction Set (824) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) enviroiunent. The

transaction set can be used to provide the ability to report the results of an application system's data content edits of

transaction sets. The results of editing transaction sets can be reported at the functional group and transaction set

level, in either coded or free-form format. It is designed to accomodate the business need of reporting the

acceptance, rejection or acceptance with change of any transaction set. The Application Advice should not be used

in place of a transaction set designed as a specific response to another transaction set (e.g., purchase order

acknowledgement sent in response to a purchase order).

Notes:

1. Use this transaction set to inform the originator ofa transaction set ofthe results ofedit checks performed on

the transaction set by the application program. The reported results can include: accepted, accepted with errors, accepted with data content change or rejected. All agencies may not be capable ofusing this transaction setfor

all intended purposes.

2. When used to reject a transaction set or to accept a transaction set with errors, the errors will be identified and

the correct data, ifknown, will be provided.

3. When the transaction set is accepted with data content change, the corrected data MUST be provided.

4. This transaction set can be used to report on multiple transaction sets sent by the same originator during a

specified time period, e.g., daily.

5. This transaction set is not used to reject a transmission due to ASCX12 syntax errors. Use a 997 transaction

setfor this purpose.

Technical Publications

Periodical

Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology—Reports NIST research

and development in those disciplines of the physical and engineering sciences in which the Institute is

active. These include physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences. Papers cover a broad range of subjects, with major emphasis on measurement methodology and the basic technology

underlying standardization. Also included from time to time are survey articles on topics closely related to the Institute's technical and scientific programs. Issued six times a year.

Nonperiodicals

Monographs—Major contributions to the technical literature on various subjects related to the

Institute's scientific and technical activities. Handbooks—Recommended codes of engineering and industrial practice (including safety codes) developed in cooperation with interested industries, professional organizations, and regulatory bodies.

Special Publications—Include proceedings of conferences sponsored by NIST, NIST annual reports, and

other special publications appropriate to this grouping such as wall charts, pocket cards, and bibliographies.

National Standard Reference Data Series—Provides quantitative data on die physical and chemical

properties of materials, compiled from the world's literature and critically evaluated. Developed under a worldwide program coordinated by NIST under the authority of the National Standard Data Act (Public

Law 90-396). NOTE: The Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data (JPCRD) is published

bimonthly for NIST by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Institute of Physics (AIP).

Subscriptions, reprints, and supplements are available from ACS, 1155 Sixteenth St., NW, Washington, DC

20056.

Building Science Series—Disseminates technical information developed at the Institute on building

materials, components, systems, and whole structures. The series presents research results, test methods, and

performance criteria related to the structural and environmental functions and the durability and safety

characteristics of building elements and systems.

Technical Notes—Studies or reports which are complete in themselves but restrictive in their treatment of

a subject. Analogous to monographs but not so comprehensive in scope or definitive in treatment of the

subject area. Often serve as a vehicle for final reports of work performed at NIST under the sponsorship of

other government agencies.

Voluntary Product Standards—Developed under procedures published by the Department of Commerce

in Part 10, Title 15, of the Code of Federal Regulations. The standards establish nationally recognized

requirements for products, and provide all concerned interests with a basis for common understanding of

the characteristics of the products. NIST administers this program in support of the efforts of private-sector

standardizing organizations.

Order the following NIST publications—FIPS and NISTIRs—from the National Technical Information

Service, Springfield, VA 22161.

Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUB)—Publications in this series

collectively constitute the Federal Information Processing Standards Register. The Register serves as the

official source of information in die Federal Government regarding standards issued by NIST pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 as amended. Public Law 89-306 (79 Stat. 1127), and as implemented by Executive Order 11717 (38 FR 12315, dated May 11, 1973) and Part 6 of

Title 15 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations).

NIST Interagency Reports (NISTIR)—A special series of interim or final reports on work performed by

NIST for outside sponsors (both government and nongovernment). In general, initial distribution is handled

by the sponsor; public distribution is by the National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA 22161,

in paper copy or microfiche form.
