The N901 note type codes (N902 value where N901=L1) are proprietary codes generated from the senders system. Please contact the sender for a list of note type codes used and their corresponding purpose/use. (Example: N902 may be ‘PCKINST’ which could indicate the following MSG segment(s) could contain packing instructions. When N901=’EDI’, the value in N902 will be a concatenated ID code denoting the source of the information sent in the corresponding child MSG segment. The concatenated ID code will be structured as follows: {segment}.{element}.{qualifier} (example: REF.02.IA, DTM.02.010, PO1.14.SK, etc.). When the parent N901=’EDI’ only one corresponding child occurrence of the MSG segment will be used.

When the parent N901=’L1’ this segment will contain a free-form text message specific to the note type expressed in N902. When the parent N901=’EDI’ only one corresponding child occurrence of the MSG segment will be used which will contain the EDI Data Warehouse value. This value is a structured and formatted data string that contains specific information from the retailer that may need to be extracted for printing and other purposes. Please consult with the sender of this transaction to determine if you will receive EDI data warehouse records and, if so, what if anything needs to be done with it.
