Standard/IG: Implementation Guide	Artifact ID, Name: Message Structure: Brackets for RE elements

Issue

1. For the M04 message NTE segment is listed as RE. Is this supposed to be O or RE if RE then NTE segment is not defined in IG.

Recommendation

1. Change NTE Usage to "O" in the MO4 message structure.

Rationale

Either constrain the NTE segment in IG or make O

Discussion

2014-03-11 The base standard has all fields in the NTE listed as ‘O’, so from a testing perspective we cannot create test data, since all the fields in the base standard for the NTE is optional – if you have a required element, you need to put something into one of the fields. – Prefer the guide just to match NTE to LOI and LRI, where NTE-1 is R [1..1] and NTE-3 is R and [1..*].

Please provide feedback on appropriate content for NTEs in M04 message currently in the eDOS sample messages
