Introduction
     
- ORIGINAL GS1 XML 3.4.1 STANDARD -

The purchaseConditionsMessage is available ONLY in ENGLISH.

The aim of the brochure on hand is to offer documentation describing the exchange of purchase order data between business partners.

The basis of this elaboration is the international standard GS1 XML 3.4.1. The message type purchaseConditionsMessage is used to transmit relevant data. GEFEG.FX (Gefeg mbH, Berlin) was used as the documentation tool.

Please be aware to know that this booklet does not replace the complete specifications in the original chapters or other relevant instructions within the GS1 XML 3.4.1 documentation. Instead, it deals with the description of segments, data elements and codes to be used for a specific task.
