Hello
 
I am working in heath care company and absolutely new to BOTS. I have tried the tutorial.
 
What I am trying to do is:
a. to give some .xml file (834 HIPPA format) and get out csv file with descriptions.
b. to give csv file and get 834 file in .xml format.
 
I undersatnd that in I need to use grammer, mapping and/ or some plugins for that. I went though them from sourceforge site and wiki site. But there is no file named 834. There are numbers like say 5010.. what does that mean?
 
I am sorry, but I am not able to understand how to proceed.
Can anyone explain me, please?
 
Thanks a lot

Take a look at x12 plugin to xml as on sourgeforge.
That should gove you enough clues.

Read something about x12.
Are you aware that there are x12 versions?

Kind regards,
Henkjan

Thanks a lot for your reply...
 
Yes, I got started with the BOTS by installing the plugin named: x12toxml_supplier_version850-856-810-997_20130711.zip.
This can convert files from x12 to xml for 850,856,810,997 format.
 
I am facing 2 main problems:
 
1. I am looking for Insurance and Health service (INS) documents like 837 or 834. How can I get a plugin working for that?
If plug-in is not avilable, could you please let me know how to develop the same for 837 or 834 (according to HIPPA guidelines)
 
2. I am also interested in developing/ using BOTS for conversion from csv to x12 and so on, such that csv contains details of each transaction.
Is it possible?
 
Thank you once again...
 
Regards,
Shashank Naphade

Hi Shashank,

I had the same requirement for EDI 820 and 823. Here is what I did in order to make it work:

1. I installed a plugin which converts the X12 to XML (demo_one-on-one_x122xml_2_0.zip)
2. Once Installed you can see the configured routes, channels and translations.
3. then I download all the X12 grammars from the site (which contains almost all the grammars type) and place them inside the usersys/grammars/x12 folder.
4. Once placed, I simple go and create a new translations for newly added grammars (exactly same as plug-in had created above)
5. Then you can create your own route similar to the plugin which will pickup the grammars for you (in this case you said 834 and 837)

Good Luck.

Vikas
