Product identification

Product Id function has the following restricted coded functions:

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 GTIN 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 GTIN provided in the LIN segment, e.g., a buyers article number, an HIBC code, etc,.

2 = Identification for potential substitution - To provide the GTIN of a product which can substitute the product identified by the GTIN provided in the LIN segment when the latter is temporarily unavailable, e.g., a similar or identical product coded with a different GS1 number (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.

Segment Notes:

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

Examples:
PIA+1+AB7456:IN'
In this example the PIA segment is used to provide an additional identification to the GTIN provided in the LIN segment. The GTIN 5412345111115 provided in the LIN segment refers to the internal buyers item number AB7456.

PIA+2+4000862141662:SRV'
In this example the PIA segment is used to provide a GTIN identification for potential 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 4000862141662 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.
