7.16 Referencing Records

Some Records may need to be referenced from other messages. One such example is referencing a SU01 Record from a Sales/Usage Report in the HEAD Record of a CDM Statement or Notification.

To enable this, Records may contain a Cell providing a Record identifier. The combination of MessageId as communicated in the HEAD Record and Record identifier Cell is globally unique.

When choosing how to populate a Record identifier Cell, implementers are strongly recommended to limit themselves to letters and digits, i.e. A-Z, a-z and 0-9.
