This data element is only used when non coded free text has been provided in data element C108.
This segment is used to provide additional coded or free text instructions such as statistic information and the type of problems, of the employee, that are covered by insurance policy.
Use of this segment in free form is not recommended since in most cases it inhibits automatic processing of the payroll deduction advice. Coded references to standard texts is an available functionality which enables automatic processing and reduces transmission and processing overheads. Standard texts should be mutually defined among trading partners and can be used to cover legal and other requirements.
