Segment notes:
This segment is used to envelope the interchange, as well as to identify both, the party to whom the interchange is sent and the party who has sent the interchange.
For international EDI the use of character set UNOA is recommended. For national (German) EDI the use of UNOC is reasonable because it contains lower case letters and umlauts.

Note DE 0008:

The address for reverse routing is provided by the interchange sender to inform the interchange recipient of the address within the sender’s (source) system to which responding interchanges must be sent. It is recommended that the GLN be used for this purpose.

Note DE 0014:

The routing adress is used to identify the receiver, if a provider adds service values for the actual receiver (e.g. consolidated companies, corporate group). The use of the identification system (e.g. GLN) has to be agreed bilaterally.

Note DE 0020:

This data element must contain a consistent sequential number per interchange between sender and receiver of the transmission.


Note DE 0032: This data element is used to identify any underlying agreements which control the exchange of data. Within EANCOM , the identity of such agreements must start with the letters ‘EANCOM’, the remaining characters within the data element being filled according to bilateral agreements.
 
Example: UNB+UNOC:3+4012345000009:14:4012345000018+4000004000002:14:4000004000099+101013:1043+4711+REF:AA++++EANCOM+1'
The EANCOM file 4711 dated 13.10.2010, 10 h 43 is sent by the issuer identified with GLN 4012345000009 to the receiver identified with GLN 4000004000002.
