FIX: The EDI X-12 856 Ship Confirmation (X12_4010_856) schema has only two HL segments in BizTalk Server 2004

In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004, you notice that the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) X-12 856 Ship Confirmation (X12_4010_856) schema only has the following two Hierarchical Level (HL) segments:

• HLLoopShipment
• HLLoopOrder

When you are working with EDI documents, you may frequently need more HL segments in this schema to support your EDI mapping.
