Product Id function, coded has the following restricted coded functions:

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

A supplemental identification which provides more information complementary to the main GTIN  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 GTIN provided in the LIN segment, e.g., a buyer's 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 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.

3 - Substituted by - To provide the GTIN of a product which has substituted the product identified in the LIN segment.

In the Product Data message this function code may be used to inform trading partners of a  number change relevant to a product. In this case, the LIN segment will contain the old trade item number and the 'Substituted By' PIA segment, the new trade item number.

4 - Substituted for - To provide the GTIN of a product which has been substituted for the product identified by the GTIN in the LIN segment.

In the Product Data message this function code may be used to inform trading partners of a number change relevant to a product. In this case, the LIN segment will contain the new GTIN and the 'Substituted  For' PIA segment will identify the old GTIN which has been substituted.

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 identify additional product codes for the current line item.

Examples:
PIA+1+ABF5682:IN'
In this example the PIA segment is used to provide an additional identification to the GTIN provided in the LIN segment. The GTIN 5412345123453 provided in the LIN segment refers to the internal buyer's item number ABF5682.

PIA+2+5412345111184:SRV'
In this example the 'Identification for potential substitution' PIA segment is used to provide a number identification for substitution. The product identified with the GTIN 5412345123453 in the LIN segment can be substituted by the product identified in the current PIA segment by the GTIN 5412345111184 in case the former is not available.

PIA+3+5412345111184:SRV'
In this example the 'Substituted By' PIA segment is used to identify a number which is replacing the current primary GTIN. The current  number is identified in the 'Product Identification' PIA segment.

PIA+4+5410738251028:SRV'
In this example the 'Substituted For' PIA segment is used to provide the number of the product which is being substituted for the former primary GTIN. The new code 5412345111184 would be included in the message in the 'Product Identification' LIN segment.

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.
