In this article, you’ll learn what an ISA segment is, along with its corresponding pieces, as well as how to find your EDI ID!

The ISA segment is the first segment in an X12 EDI data transaction. Just like the addresses located on a piece of mail, the ISA segment contains sender and receiver information in the form of an EDI ID. The EDI ID is sometimes referred to as the ISA ID.

Both the sender of an EDI transaction and receiver of an EDI transaction must have an EDI ID present in the data in order for the transaction to be sent and received successfully. Additionally, each EDI ID has a Qualifier associated with it. As you can see in the example, the Qualifier comes before the EDI ID, and is used to identify and describe the content that follows.

The GS segment is located under the ISA segment. Some trading partners may ask for your GS ID (or GS02/03), as well. Also known as the Group ID, your GS ID is usually the same as your ISA ID. The GS02 position in an X12 transaction is the GS ID for the sender, and the GS03 position in an X12 transaction is for the receiver.

While you can always contact TrueCommerce for assistance, there are a couple ways to find the EDI ID on your own!

You have the option to have your EDI ID display as a column on the Transactions grid. If you don't already see this column, click the vertical ellipsis icon (3 dots) and select Edi Alias from the list of choices. The EDI ID will show in this column for each transaction listed.

Open the Business System page in Transaction Manager to view the EDI ID or IDs associated with your company.

Note that it might not display on this page if you have previously chosen to hide the EDI ID and/or assign an EDI Alias.

Select the transaction from the Transactions workspace and then select View > Raw EDI via the action bar.
​

When raw EDI displays, you will be able to see your EDI ID and Qualifier contained in the ISA segment, as described in the previous section What is an ISA ID and Qualifier?
