Segment Notes:
This segment is used to provide any free text information related to the complete request for quote.

Use of this segment in free form is not recommended since it may inhibit automatic processing of the Request for Quote. Coded references to standard texts is an available functionality which enables automatic processing and reduces transmission and processing overheads. Standard texts should be mutually defined among trading partners and can be used to cover legal and other requirements.

Example :

FTX+ZZZ+1+001::91'

'Standard text 001 = This request for quote is valid for 20 days following date of message'

Dependency Notes :

DE C107: This composite is only used when trading partners have agreed to use mutually defined code values.

DE C108: This composite is only used if coded text can not be used.

DE 3453: This data element is only used when non coded free text has been provided in data element C108.
