Product identification

=

No substitution accepted (GS1 Temporary Code)

Product Id function qualifier has the following restricted coded values:

1 - Additional Identification - To provide an additional identity for the product identified in the LIN segment. The additional identification can consist of :

A supplemental identification which provides more information complementary to the main article number provided in the LIN segment, e.g., a batch number, promotional variant number, product group number, etc.

An alternative identification which may be used instead of the main article number provided in the LIN segment, e.g., a buyers article number, an HIBC code, etc,.

2 - Identification for substitution - To provide the article number of a product which can substitute the product identified by the article number provided in the LIN segment when the latter is temporarily unavailable, e.g., a similar or identical product coded with a different GTIN (article coded in a different country), a different size unit of the same product, a similar product with for example a different brand name.

5 - Product Identification  - To provide the primary product identification code when no GTIN has been provided in the LIN segment.

X1 - No substitution accepted - The buyer will not accept any other product code than the one specified in the LIN segment. The code specified in the LIN segment is repeated in the PIA segment to confirm the only code acceptable.

Segment Notes:

This segment is used to specify additional or substitutional item identification codes such as a buyer's or supplier's item number.

Example:
PIA+1+TC56332:IN'
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.

PIA+2+4000862141664:SRV'
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.

PIA+5+2209953C001L:AC'
This example details the HIBC code 2209953C001L which is provided as the primary product code because no GTIN was provided in the LIN segment.

PIA+X1+5412345111115:SRV'
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.
