Segment Notes:

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

Examples:
PIA+1+ABC5343:IN'
In this example the PIA segment is used to provide an additional identification to the GTIN provided in the LIN segment. The GTIN 4000862141404 provided in the LIN segment refers to the internal buyer's item number ABC5343.

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.
