Item qualifiers

Within an X12 transaction set, item numbers are preceded by a qualifier that represents the item number. Use these data substitutions to specify different qualifiers if required by a trading partner.

Note: If you create an ITEM_QUAL record, it overrides the default. To enable the default, you must create an ITEM_QUAL record for the default value. The default qualifier for the buyer (your) item number is IN. The default qualifier for the vendor item is VC.
