CSMS Message: 93-000336

EFFECTIVE APRIL 5, 1993, A NEW "INVOICER" CODE WILL BE AVAILABLE TO BOTH
THE AUTOMATED INVOICE INTERFACE (AII) AND THE EDIFACT CUSDEC MESSAGE.
CURRENTLY, FOR THE C08 RECORD POSITIONS 4-5, THE PARTY QUALIFIER "SU"
IS USED TO IDENTIFY THE SUPPLIER/INVOICER CODE. FILERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE
TO REPORT THE INVOICER PARTY QUALIFIER AND PARTY NUMBER SEPARATELY. THE
AII PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED TO ACCEPT A NEW, SEPARATE PARTY QUALIFIER
= "II" IN POSITIONS 4-5 OF THE C08 RECORD WHICH MAY BE USED TO IDENTIFY
THE INVOICING PARTY FROM THE SUPPLIER PARTY. THIS NEW "II" PARTY
QUALIFIER IDENTIFIES THE PARTY NUMBER REPORTED IN POSITIONS 6-20 AS THE
"INVOICING" PARTY NUMBER. BOTH THE "II" PARTY QUALIFIER AND "INVOICING"
PARTY NUMBER ARE CONDITIONAL, AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED WHEN THE INVOICING
PARTY NUMBER DIFFERS FROM THE SUPPLIER "SU" PARTY NUMBER. IT IS STILL
REQUIRED THAT ONE C08 RECORD WITH THE PARTY QUALIFIER "SU" AND SUPPLIER
ID FOR PARTY NUMBER (POSITIONS 6-20) BE TRANSMITTED WITH THE INVOICE,
AND THIS MUST MATCH THE SUPPLIER ID CODE IN POSITIONS 5-19 AS TRANSMITTED
IN THE C01 RECORD.
FOR THE EDIFACT CUSDEC MESSAGE, THIS NEW INVOICER CODE WOULD BE SENT AS
PART OF GROUP 10, THE NAD SEGMENT WHERE ELEMENT 3035 PARTY QUALIFIER ="II"
(ISSUER OF INVOICE) AND ELEMENT 3039 PARTY IDENTIFICATION CODE IS THE
PARTY NUMBER. AS STATED ABOVE, THE "SU" SUPPLIER PARTY ID AND PARTY
NUMBER ARE STILL REQUIRED WHEN TRANSMITTING INVOICE DATA VIA THE CUSDEC.
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE ABOVE INFORMATION SHOULD BE ADDRESSED TO YOUR
ACS CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
