This specification provides a proposal for the definition of the United Nations Standard Sales Data Report Message to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners, involved in administration, commerce and transport.

A message to enable the transmission of sales data related to products or services, such as corresponding location, period, product identification, pricing, monetary amount, quantity, market sector information, sales parties. It enables the recipient to process the information automatically and use it for production, planning, marketing, statistical purposes, etc.

The Sales Data Report Message may be applied for both national and international trade. It is based on universal commercial practice and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.

The message intent is to provide sales information for one or more locations for a series of products within a specified time period. The message is transmitted either from a seller to its supplier or from a headquarters, coordination or distribution centre to a manufacturer, supplier or a third party, such as a marketing institute for statistical analysis. It allows the recipient to know for a specific product the:

• Location of the sale
• Period in which it was sold
• Product identification
• Product selling price, quantity and value of the sales
• Additional Identification of the products such as promotional flags, product group or family identification and internal identification numbers
• Periodical Turnover of a specified location
• Global specified product sales, i.e. total sales of a product in all locations
• Sales channel, market segment end use
• Sales parties identification. Though the message is location driven, it is conceivable that the recipient process the data to derive information based on other variables such as a specific product and all its related sales locations and/or addresses or periodic turnover and the related locations.
