BALANC Balance message (D11B)

This is the standard EDIFACT D11B spec, with 8 loops and 25 segment positions, as OpenEDI JSON, an ediFabric C# template and an ediFabric Native model. To change it for a trading partner, customize it in the EDI Spec Builder.

Use the BALANC spec in your code

ediFabric .NET

Add the C# template and its common files to your project, or reference the template NuGet package, and read BALANC files into TSBALANC objects. See ediFabric .NET.

ediFabric Native

Native supports X12 today, and EDIFACT is coming. When it's available, map version D11B to this Native model with set_map to parse BALANC files to JSON from Python, Java, C or C#. See ediFabric Native.

OpenEDI

Select Customize in Spec Builder to copy the spec under your own name, change it for your partner, and parse files against it in EdiNation, ediFabric Native or ediFabric Cloud. Read about OpenEDI.

Generate BALANC classes in Python, Java, Node.js, Go, Rust or C

The OpenEDI file describes each BALANC as JSON. To work with BALANC data as typed objects, generate classes from the OpenEDI file in your language; the root class is TSBALANC. The classes keep the loops, segments, lengths and code lists, but not the EDI data formats. Read more in Generate a class from OpenEDI.
