Key Segment Definition

Top  Previous  Next

Key Segment Definition is used to separate certain fields into two or more meaningful segments. These segmented codes can increase the efficiency of referencing and reporting information by allowing each code segment to fulfill a specific record identification purpose.

 

For example, classes might be separated into segments with each segment used to identify a particular aspect of sales.  This 7-character class,  02-550-DD, may be separated into three segments that identify a specific division (02), department (550) and location (DD).
