| VendorCode provides a way of uniquely identifying each and every sender and/or receiver of ACORD messages/transactions. A sender or receiver may be an organization, individual or system, and represents the entity which created this information. It is recommended that the ACORD assigned vendor code value be used. Proprietary vendor codes MAY be used but this option may not provide full interoperability between trading partners as there may be overlap in code values and the desired uniqueness may not be achieved. |
