Hello,
I do not understand the meaning of the qualifiers in EDI messages, especially regarding Business Partners.

Is there some documentation about? Or can someone help me to clarify ?

What is the meaning?
How do they work?

Thanks very much,
Luca

Hello,

In EDIFACT, the composite data element is made up of two or more pieces of data (known as components) which form a single data unit. Typically the first data element is the value, which is being qualified. The second data element is typically the qualifier. These are typically ID (code values) fields. The qualifier gives additional definition to the value.
