A message to submit master data - a set of data that is rarely changed - to identify and describe products a supplier offers to his (potential) customer or buyer. This information of long validity includes technical and functional product description but not commercial terms and conditions. This message can be used as well to update the information on a previously sent PRODAT message.
A service segment starting and uniquely identifying a message. The message type code for the Product data message is PRODAT. Note: Product data messages conforming to this document must contain the following data in segment UNH, composite S009: Data element 0065 PRODAT 0052 D 0054 13B 0051 UN
A segment by which the sender must uniquely identify the Product Data Message by means of its name and number and when necessary its function. Data element 1225 may be used to identify updates to a previously sent PRODAT message.
A segment specifying general dates and, when relevant, times related to the whole message. The segment must be specified at least once to identify the Product Data Message date. The Date/time/period segment within other Segment groups should be used whenever the date/time/period requires to be logically related to another specified data item, for example the availability date for a specified line item (DTM following LIN).
A segment indicating country of origin.
A segment providing the product family name commonly used with all products identified within the message in free format and when necessary identifying the language used. It may be repeated as well to provide the name in other languages.
A segment with free text information, in coded or clear form, used when additional information is needed relevant for all products described in the actual message but cannot be accommodated within other segments. In computer to computer exchanges such text will normally require the receiver to process this segment manually.
A segment to identify a product group, price group or tariff group which is applicable to the whole message.
A segment to specify currencies and relevant details for the rate of exchange.
A segment identifying technical rules and conditions relevant for the whole message.
A segment specifying the technical rules' issue date.
A segment indicating that and which governmental or legal trade restrictions apply to all products described in the actual message.
A segment to identify the commodities relevant for the identified trade restrictions.
A segment identifying a reference by its type and number.
A segment specifying the date and, or related to the reference.
A segment identifying names and addresses of the parties, in coded or clear form, and their functions relevant to the message. At least one NAD-segment should be provided, for example the manufacturer, the supplier or message generator. It is recommended that, if possible, only the coded form of the party ID should be specified.
A segment to identify a person and, or department, and their function, to whom communications should be directed.
A segment to identify a communication type and number for the contact specified in the CTA segment.
A segment identifying a reference by its type and number.
A segment specifying the date and, or time related to the reference.
A segment to identify common product characteristic and, or the characteristic name and characteristic relevance for the business process.
A segment to specify common product characteristic by value in either coded form or in free format.
A segment indicating characteristic values being physical measurements (including measurable quantities and percentages) related to specified product family or group characteristics (for example voltage, percentage of material contained) and where relevant measurement ranges. The MEA-segment is repeatable to allow the indication of a number of applicable measurable values, for example one electric appliance may be switchable for different voltages: 110V, 220V, 240V and 380V.
This segment will identify the external files by indicating the file name, file number and its sequence number in an exchange.
To give precise definitions of all necessary elements belonging to the configuration of a computer system, e.g. hardware, firmware, operating system, communication and application software.
To identify a communication number of a department or a person to whom communication should be directed.
A segment giving reference related to the file identified by a previous external file link identification segment.
This segment will convey the date/time details of the external file.
The size/volume of the external file identified in the previous external file link identification segment.
