Product identification
Product Id function, has the following restricted coded functions:
1 = Additional Identification - To provide an additional identity for the primary global trade item number (GTIN) identified in the LIN segment. The additional code can consist of:
A supplemental identification which provides more information complementary to the main trade item number provided in the LIN segment, e.g., a batch number, promotional variant number, etc, or an alternative identification which may be used instead of the main trade item number provided in the LIN segment, e.g., a buyer's article number, a harmonised system number, ect.
2 = Identification for potential substitution - To provide the number of a product which can substitute the product identified by the global trade item number provided in the LIN segment when the latter is temporarily unavailable, e.g. a similar or identical product coded with a different global trade item number (article coded in a different country), a different size of the same product, a similar product with for example a different brand name.
4 = Substituted for - To provide the number of a product which has been replaced by the global trade item number (GTIN) provided in the LIN segment. This information will be passed on to the delivery party in the Despatch Advice message.
5 - Product Identification  - To provide the primary product identification code when no GTIN has been provided in the LIN segment.
