Comments:
| 1. | This segment allows for the grouping of data by entity/entities at or within a master/masters. A master (e.g., an organization) can be comprised of numerous subgroups (e.g., entities). This master may send grouped data to another master (e.g., an organization) which is comprised of one or more entities. Groupings are as follows: |
| 2. | (1) Single/Single: Only ENT01 is necessary, because there is a single entity (the sending master) communicating with a single entity (the receiving master). |
| 3. | (2) Single/Multiple: ENT05, ENT06, and ENT07 would be used to identify the entities within the receiving master. The sending master is a single entity, so no other data elements need be used. |
| 4. | (3) Multiple/Single: ENT02, ENT03, and ENT04 would be used to identify the entities within the sending master. The receiving master is a single entity, so no other data elements need be used. |
| 5. | (4) Multiple/Multiple: ENT02, ENT03, and ENT04 would be used to identify the entities within the sending master. ENT05, ENT06, and ENT07 would be used to identify the entities within the receiving master. |
| 6. | This segment also allows for the transmission of a unique reference number that is meaningful between the entities. |
