EANCOM® 2002 S4 Edition 2016 Part II
APERAK Application error and acknowledgement message
4. Segments Description
 
UNA - C 1 - Service string advice
This segment is used to inform the receiver of the interchange that a set of service string characters which are different to the default characters are being used.
 
UNB - M 1 - Interchange header
This segment is used to envelope the interchange, as well as to identify both, the party to whom the interchange is sent and the party who has sent the interchange. The principle of the UNB segment is the same as a physical envelope which covers one or more letters or documents, and which details, both the address where delivery is to take place and the address from where the envelope has come.
 
UNG - C 1 - Group header
Within EANCOM® the use of the UNG..UNE segments should not be used for grouping of multiple message types in the same interchange as this is not considered good practice. However, they can be used by organisations to create their own identifiable application level envelopes, which can be addressed from the originating department to a department in the recipient's system, e.g. to group multiple issuers in one transmission file with invoices.
 
UNO - O 1 - Object header
The digital certificate will be attached using PKCS#7 format because it allows including more than one digital certificate (User Certificate and the Certification Chain).  This file will be filtered using EDC or Hexadecimal filter.
Once the file is filtered, the total number of bytes of the object to be attached will be obtained and detailed in DE0810.
 
UNP - C 1 - Object trailer
This is segment used to check the completeness of an object and to end it.
 
UNE - C 1 - Group trailer
Within EANCOM® the use of the UNG..UNE segments should not be used for grouping of multiple message types in the same interchange as this is not considered good practice. However, they can be used by organisations to create their own identifiable application level envelopes, which can be addressed from the originating department to a department in the recipient's system, e.g. to group multiple issuers in one transmission file with invoices.
 
UNZ - M 1 - Interchange trailer
