PH51053: NCPDP TRANSACTION FAILS COMPLIANCE CHECKING WHEN 427-DR PRESCRIBER NAME IS NOT PRESENT BUT 411-DB IS PRESENT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• 427-DR Prescriber Name is only required if 411-DB PRESCRIBER ID
  is not known or to validate 411-DB. NCPDP Transactions are
  failing compliance when 427-DR is not present but 411-DB is
  present. There is not a way for the compliance check to know
  411-DB is needed for validation so the transaction should not
  fail when for 427-DR not being present when 411-DB is present.
  Failure only occurs if the transaction is out of balance,
  eventhough balancing edit has been turned off.

Problem summary

• Users Affected:
  IBM Transformation Extender Pack for Healthcare NCPDP
  
  Problem Description:
  
  Transaction are failing compliance when 427-DR is not present
  but 411-DB is present.
  
  Platforms Affected:
  ALL
  

Problem conclusion

• There was a rule to enforce that if 411-DB is absent, then
  427-DR is required.  This had an error in the definition, so
  was not actually checking 411-DB. This has been corrected.
