Specifying OR Option for a Qualifier
The OR option, allows grouping of qualifiers. This is useful when one of the many
possible qualifiers can appear for a field option as per the specification. For example,
field 95a allows one among a group of qualifiers BUYR, DEAG, DECU, etc.
Follow the steps given below to specify the OR option,
1. Add a qualifier to the table as mentioned in the above section. Select one of the
allowed qualifiers (in the OR group) from the drop-down list. Say, BUYR in our
example. Specify its presence either as (M) Mandatory or (O) Optional as per the
specification.
2. Add the next qualifier in the group, here DEAG, and specify its presence as OR
from the drop-down list.
3. Repeat the above step until all the qualifiers in the group have been added.
4. As per the above figure, one among the qualifiers BUYR, DEAG, DECU is
mandatory, as specified for the first qualifier of the group.
5. Note that the qualifiers in the OR group are under the serial number 1 in the
figure. The OR qualifiers are not assigned serial number for each row. Only the
qualifier added outside the group, i.e., with an O or M presence is assigned the
next serial number.
