. all product/service items of the Price/Sales Catalogue Message, . a group of product/service items, . a single product/service item in the message, . within a single product/service item to different price basis occurrences.

  • A Price/Sales Catalogue Message may contain product and price information, as well as sales conditions.
  • The Price Item Line may identify the component parts of the price item.

4. MESSAGE DEFINITION


4.1. Data Segment Clarification

This section should be read in conjunction with the Branching Diagram and the Segment Table which indicate mandatory, conditional and repeating requirements.

The following guidelines and principles apply to the whole message and are intended to facilitate the understanding and implementation of the message:

All specified dates/times should be in the format 'yymmdd'/'hhmm' unless all parties involved in the transaction agree that there is a functional requirement for an alternative format. Periods should be specified as whole numbers representing the required period as indicated in the date/time/period format (weeks, months, etc.).

Conditional data that is not required in the message should not be included.

Care must be taken that the segment qualifier in dependent segments do not conflict with the segment qualifier of the trigger segment of the group

Free text information within the message should be avoided as this inhibits automatic processing.
