Is the order of repeated segments in EDI
important. For example, if the implementation guide suggests DTP
segment with Date/Time Qualifier 401
to be followed by DTP
segment with Qualifier 404
, is it required for these segments to be in that order? Or is it right to have them in reverse order?
The order shouldn't matter, unless the trading partner is expecting a certain order (They shouldn't, but I have seen it where the trading partner will be looking for the first segment instead of looking for the qualifier.)
