Conversion Guides
Three (3) sets of conversion guides contain a cross reference of DoD domain codes (data item codes) to ASC X12 domain code values. All three conversion guides must be implemented in DoD systems using ANSI ASC X12 transaction formats to convert DoD data values established in legacy systems to the corresponding ANSI ASC X12 code values. The applicable conversion guides are:
- Transportation Mode of Shipment/Transportation Method/Type Code Conversion Guide
- Type of Pack Conversion Guide
- Unit of Materiel Measure (Unit of Issue/Purchase Unit) Conversion Guide. For ease of use, this conversion guide is available in three different sort sequences
