Which items are components of the FAB5 Configuration?

• A. Service Component, Action, Reason Code, Trans Type, Subtrans Type
• B. Service Component, Action, Reason Code, Trans Type
• C. Service Component, Action, Reason Code, Subtrans Type, Trans Type
• D. Service Component, Action, Trans Type, Subtrans Type

Answer: (A)

FAB5 Configuration is defined by five attributes that together determine how a service action is categorized and processed. The five components are Service Component, Action, Reason Code, Trans Type, and Subtrans Type. Each piece plays a specific role: the Service Component identifies the area or service involved; Action is the operation being taken; Reason Code explains why that action is being performed; Trans Type sets the general transaction category; and Subtrans Type adds a finer subdivision within the transaction. All five are needed to uniquely describe when a FAB5 rule applies. If any one of these is missing, the configuration becomes incomplete and can lead to ambiguity in how the rule is applied. The option that includes all five components accurately represents the FAB5 configuration.
