834 5010 LS/LE (Loop 2700/2750) Additional Reporting Categories not correct

[ddw360]

The 005010X220A1-834 Benefit Enrollment and Maintenance TR3 Errata report published June 2010, specifies corrections to handling of LS/LE Loop envelope for Additional Reporting Categories.

See for reference sample data structure to use to test:

Changes that needed to be addressed:

1. LS (Pos 6880) and LE (Pos 6885) are both segments within Loop 2000, not Loop 2700. Only one LS/LE pair allowed for each Loop 2000.
2. LX (Pos 6881) segment within LS/LE is Loop 2700, not Loop 2710 (which has been eliminated).
3. Loop 2750 is a child sub-loop of Loop 2700 containing the following segments:

• N1 (Pos 6882)
• REF (Pos 6883)
• DTP (Pos 6884)

Recommended change to V2 map (not tested, still trying to figure out how to have library force use of correct map!!): 834.5010.X220.A1.v2.xml

Thanks for the detail. I will update the 834 5010 E1 map to reflect the changes.

The LS and LE segments are situational, unless there are 2700 loops, in which case they are required. I have code to handle these odd X12 structures - just have to test.

Do you have any test 834 files? If not, I can create some simple examples. Will need to do regression tests against some currently valid 834 files.

The validation script (x12valid.py) can be passed an alternate path to a set of X12 map files. The script looks in that path for the 'maps.xml' file - which is a lookup from the Interchange Control Version Number (ISA12), Functional Identifier Code (GS01), and Version / Release / Industry Identifier Code (GS08) fields to a xml map filename for that transaction. You can copy the map folder to another location and test your v2 maps from there.

Here is a sample 834 (de-identified of course) - that should serve as a good test dataset for handling LS/LE.

Thanks for the tip on the x12valid.py. Does that mean the modules: x12xml.py and xmlx12.py currently do not implement using specific map versions or modified maps? Or am I to interpret that the procedure is as follows:

1. x12xml.py and xmlx12.py support passing a "mappath (-m)" parameter to point to a map directory. If "-m " reference is passed, both modules will look for maps.xml in that path.
2. If the map folder containing maps.xml has v1 map files - then it will default to v1 map files. If the map folder containing maps.xml only has v2 map files - then is will access maps.v2.xml to reference v2 map files?!? Need some clarification - I am still a python beginner so trying to debug and understand took some major time.

Much appreciated, great library - if I can understand it better, I might be able to contribute more...

[michaelachrisco]

Is this still an issue? I was thinking of using this library for an 834 file. Appreciate the work so far!

[azoner]

I don't think I completed this. I started work on a branch nine months ago. I'll take a look at where it is now.

[michaelachrisco]

Appreciate it! At the moment, the 834 file/generation service I am testing passes...so I am not sure if the spec is wrong or what. Ill have to double check.

The package is working on all the other validation scenarios which is great (thanks!).

It looks like it is looking for the LS*2700 segment to be in the 2300 loop and since its not there, throws an error, but I am not entirely sure. Been trying to debug this for some time now, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[azoner]

The test file provided by ddw360 recreates this error. I will work on a solution.

[johncade]

@azoner thank you for the heads up, happy to help if needed.

[johncade]

@azoner does this have anything to do with #44? What do you think needs addressing? Im going to start working on a fix.

[azoner]

I originally converted the 834 map from 4010 to 5010 by hand. I probably just missed a change in those loops.

@azoner ahh so you just believe its an issue with the grammar. Ill take a look, to see if I can find any inconsistencies. I tried with the suggested change by @ddw360 to no avail.

[johncade]

@azoner appears that composite segments fail as well.

[ddw360]

@azoner @johncade
Sorry for weighing in on this much later but was busy with other tasks at hand!
Don't know if this helps -- but the changes are specific to version 005010X220A1 of the 834 5010 standard implementation in regards to LX/LE envelope segments.

Summation of Errata (version 5, revision 1 aka 005010X220A1)

• Loop 2100A, 2100D-2100H, Segment N4 is now situational vs required
• Loop 2710 is deprecated and replaced with Loop 2700 (LX/LE) is within Loop 2000 and can repeat (i.e. >1)
• Loop 2750 can only have one dataset within LX/LE (Loop 2700) and REF segment can only exist once (in prior spec version it was repeatable up to 16)

Hope that helps.

So basically this should be valid and parsable:

assume inside of loop 2000, typically after Loop 2300

@ddw360 awesome, thanks, makes sense. There also appears to be an issue with repeated data elements. #44 looks to fix a lot of it, @azoner what do you need to be done on that PR in order for it to be merged?
