N Names For EDI specific data requests, the EDI QA Department will use the IAIABC terminology in their notifications. Numbers In general, spell out numbers one through nine. Also spell out a number if it begins a sentence. For example: There are nine players. Nine players attended.

Generally, for amounts less than one, spell it out and use a hyphen between the words. For example: A two-thirds majority is required for that policy to pass.
