Unlike transactional EDI messages that require structured data for system processing, the text message is designed for non-transactional communication such as instructions, clarifications, alerts, or one-time announcements that benefit from being shared within the EDI framework but do not need to trigger system actions. The text message is exchanged asynchronously through standard EDI channels in X12 format and typically appears in EDI inboxes or line-of-business systems that support message viewing. ![](/sites/default/files/tech_comms/mpl/Content/Resources/Images/global_images/note_tip_24x24.png) Contact your TraceLink Services representative for more information about integrating with this message. - **Message Type**: MPC\_TEXT\_MESSAGE - **X12 Format**: TEXTMESSAGE **Transform Names**: - B2B\_EDI\_X12\_864\_TextMessage\_IB\_V1 - B2B\_EDI\_X12\_864\_TextMessage\_OB\_V1 [![Closed](/sites/default/files/tech_comms/mpl/Skins/Default/Stylesheets/Images/transparent.gif)Guidelines](#) Input Element Occurs Length Description Example ISA 1…1 - **Required.** ISA interchange envelope. - ISA01 1…1 2/2 **Required.** Qualifier for authorization control number in ISA02. 00 ISA02 1…1 10/10 **Required.** Information used for additional identification or authorization of the interchange sender or the data in the interchange/ 10 spaces a valid entry. - ISA03 1…1 2/2 **Required.** Qualifier for security information in ISA04. 00 ISA04 1…1 10/10 **Required.** Identifies security information about the interchange sender or data - ISA05 1…1 2/2 **Required.** Interchange sender partner ID qualifier.
