Existing Wording

3.2.6.3 Orders Fulfilled contains the following conformance statements: In an Encounter Summary, C-CDA Content Creators SHOULD populate the infulfillmentOf/order and the infulfillmentOf/order/id element where the order/id references the id of a previously placed order. [BP-047] The Order Fulfilled area of the header MAY carry information about fulfilled orders, rereferrals or other requests that have been fulfilled. [BP-048] But then 5.2.5 Order says: C-CDA Content Creators SHALL represent completed orders in the inFulfillmentOf area of the header for orders completed in the context established for the document. [BP-083] C-CDA Content Consumers SHALL render information about completed orders documented in the inFulfillmentOf area of the header for orders completed in the context established for the document. [BP-084] Which of these takes precedence? Having these two different sets of conformance statements seems confusing and either redundant or contradictory.

Proposed Wording

If BP-083 takes precedence over BP-047 and BP-048, then it seems like BP-047 and BP-048 are redundant and should be removed. If they take precedence over BP-083, then BP-083 is contradictory and should be removed.
