0. INTRODUCTION

This specification provides the definition of the Sales data report message (SLSRPT) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport.


1. SCOPE


1.1. Functional Definition

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.


1.2. Field of Application

The Sales data report message may be used for both national and international trade. It is based on universal commercial practice and is not dependent on the type of business or industry.


1.3. Principles

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.

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 format qualifier (weeks, months, etc.).

Where a choice of code or text is given only the code element should be used wherever possible. Due to the high volume of data that will be usually transmitted in the Sales Data Report message, it is highly recommended to use codes for products and locations.

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 a group.
