Keep record IDs connected
Map original claim, response line and authorized amount. Confirm qualifiers, code lists, units and date/time meaning against the agreed X12 version and Border States guide. Preserve the source reference alongside any new destination identifier.

Run the failure cases in the mapping table against realistic adjustment claim response data. Check how the receiving system reports a rejection and how your team corrects it without creating a duplicate.
