This segment is used to specify additional or substitutional item identification codes such as a buyer's or supplier's item number.
Example:
In this example the PIA segment is used to provide an additional identification to the article number provided in the LIN segment. The GTIN 5412345111115 provided in the LIN segment refers to the internal buyer's part number TC56332.
In this example the PIA segment is used to provide an article number identification for substitution. The product identified in the LIN segment by the GTIN 5412345111115 can be substituted by the product identified in the PIA segment by the GTIN 4000862141664 in case the former is not available.
This example details the HIBC code 2209953C001L which is provided as the primary product code because no GTIN was provided in the LIN segment.
This example details the situation where the buyer explicitly specifies that no other product is acceptable but the one specified in the LIN segment. The PIA re-specifies the product code from the LIN segment.
           
Example:
PIA+1+1:AA:23:9+1:AA:23:2+1:AA:23:2+1:AA:23:2+1:AA:23:2'
Example:
PIA+1+TC56332:IN'
Example:
PIA+2+4000862141664:SRV'
Example:
PIA+5+2209953C001L:AC'
Example:
PIA+X1+5412345111115:SRV'
