Segment Notes:
This segment is used to indicate the type and function of a message and to transmit the identifying number.

DE 1001: When applicable it is recommended to use the more descriptive document name code for an order instead of the general 220 Purchase Order value.

All references other than the document number DE 1004 are in the RFF segment.

DE 1004: It is recommended that the length of document number be restricted to a maximum of 17 characters.

DE 1225: The message function, coded is a critical data element in this segment. It applies to all data indicated in the message. The following definitions apply for the restricted codes:

6 = Confirmation - A confirmation of a previously sent proposal or suggested order where such confirmation is required or recommended under the terms of a trading partner agreement.

7 = Duplicate - A re-transmission involving the same parties, on the specific request of the receiver.

9 = Original - An original transmission of a purchase order.

16 = Proposal - A proposed or suggested order.

31 = Copy - A copy of an order for a third party for information purposes.

42 = Confirmation via specific means - A confirmation of a previous order sent by means other than EDI, e.g., Fax.

46 = Provisional - A provisional order.

Example :

BGM+220+128576+9'

Dependency Notes :

DE 3055: Code for EAN '9' should be used when DE 1001 contains the values 22E, 50E and 23B. These are EAN specific codes and must be qualified as such by using DE 3055.

DE 4343: This DE is used if the order issuer wishes to explicitly indicate whether an acknowledgement is required or not.
