Introduction
  
       
       
 
       
The aim of the brochure on hand is to offer documentation describing the exchange of article master data between business partners.

The basis of this elaboration is the international standard EANCOM® 2002. The message type PRICAT 009 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 EANCOM® 2002 documentation. Instead, it deals with the description of segments, data elements and codes to be used for a specific task.

The current documentation has been produced by the GS1 Germany GmbH in Cologne. GS1 Germany assumes no liability for any damages incurring from the use of this documentation. This brochure or extracts thereof may only be published or forwarded to third parties with the express written consent of GS1 Germany, which holds copyright on this work.
  
       
       
 
       
       
 
       
Important note
To fulfill the requirements of directive 2003/58/EG, article 4, C058 has been opened in NAD segments identifying a message sender. If the place in the 5 DE 3124 is not sufficient, the following RFF segments can be used, qualified with DE 1153 = GN. DE 1154 has got a capacity of 70 digits. Only in those cases, when no RFF segment follows NAD, a RFF+GN can be used in the heading section of the message. Within the EDI recommendations of GS! Germany this is only applicable for the messages REMADV and SLSFCT.
This brochure offers different ways to start
Introduction
"Introduction" contains a short description of the respective message.
BusinessTerms
"Business Terms", is a table which links directly to the sequence numbers of the segments.
Diagram
"Diagram", is a hierarchical graphic depiction of all used segments in the same sequence as they are defined in the EANCOM® message. However, every segment is shown only once, and it is therefore possible that the sequence numbering is interrupted.
Structure
"Structure", is a list of all used segments in the same sequence as they are defined in the EANCOM® message. In general, for each piece of information one single segment is provided. Exeptions may arrise when the the occurence of a segment is limited and can contain alternative information (e.g., segment BGM).
Segmentlayout
"Segmentlayout", an illustration that has been chosen to match the business terms (data from the inhouse application) with the elements from the EANCOM® syntax.
Codes
"Codes" contains a list of the codes used in the message.
Examples
"Examples", provides at least one message example with comments. Please note that, for technical reasons, the examples can contain component data element separators, which would otherwise be represented as data element separators in the original messages.
Print
"Print" opens the PDF documentation for the corresponding message.
General
Master data is stored in databases in order to reference it in subsequent business processes, as important core processes such as orders, inventory management and invoice processing can only be achieved efficiently with high-quality master data.

For this purpose, companies can participate in the central article master data exchange via atrify in Germany and, internationally, in the GDSN (Global Data Synchronisation Network). These are recommended as best practice according to ECR (Efficient Consumer Response).

Via GEPIR (www.gs1-germany.de), companies can achieve further rationalization effects in the area of master data maintenance and research.
atrify
atrify GmbH (www.atrify.com) is a leading provider of integrated data management solutions for trade and industry.

With expertise in the areas of Global Data Synchronization (GDS), Product Information Management (PIM) atrify enables companies from trade and industry to efficiently map and implement core processes in the management of productmaster data.

The data pool services of atrify enable the professional exchange of item master data based on international GDSN standards. Using atrify's data pool, electronic data traffic is streamlined by enabling companies to exchange their item master data multilaterally rather than bilaterally. Manufacturers transmit their master data to atrify once. Forwarding to all relevant retailers takes place automatically. In addition, atrify checks the data for quality and thus excludes complaints due to incorrect master data.
GDSN Certificate
atrify is certified by the official organization GS1 Global Registry Inc. to use the Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN).

GDSN is an international network of standard-compatible data pools and enables the cross-national distribution of master data. Thus, atrify opens the way to international data exchange for all manufacturers and dealers. Users of atrify receive all services from a single source and do not have to conclude contracts with additional local data pools.
Global data exchange
In addition to the global orientation of the data pool, atrify offers its customers further services. Through the integrated solution portfolio of data pool, product information management and EDI, the complete process chain from the manufacturer to the retail systems can be covered.

The added values: Beyond the management of pure article master data, structured and unstructured data and content such as multimedia information can be stored, modified and transmitted on an end-to-end platform.
