AR Guide interpretation

What this group code means

CR was used for corrections and reversals in transaction versions prior to 005010. ASC X12 states it is not to be used with 005010 and later, so it will not appear on current remittance advices. If you see CR on an older document, treat it as a correction or reversal of a prior adjustment.
