This segment is used to identify the product being responded to by means of an EAN article number. The detail section of the Purchase Order Response is formed by a repeating group of segments, always starting with the LIN segment.

DE 1229: Action Request, coded, is the critical DE in this segment. The following code value definitions apply:

1 = Addition : The supplier wishes to add a line to the buyer's purchase order. This may happen if the supplier can not accommodate the complete buyer's purchase order for a line in one delivery, and, suggests splitting the order line into two separate deliveries. When this is done each order response line must refer to the same order number and line number.

3 = Changed : The supplier accepts to supply the line item in a purchase order or purchase order change request, but requires one or more changes to the terms set out in the referenced message, as indicated by the data in, and following, the LIN segment. The buyer must acknowledge these requirements by sending a new purchase order or purchase order change request.

4 = No Action : The supplier has not yet processed the referenced line item from a purchase order or purchase order change request.

5 = Accepted : The supplier accepts to supply the line item in a purchase order or purchase order change request. Though it is not necessary to re-transmit unamended line items or cancellations, this may be done for confirmation.

7 = Not Accepted : The supplier declines to supply the line item in a purchase order or purchase order change request.

Example :

LIN+1+3+5412345111115:EN'

Dependency Notes :

DE C212: This composite will only be used for the identification of EAN/UPC codes. If another coding structure is being used, e.g. HIBC, this composite will not be used and the code will be detailed in the PIA segment.

DE's C829 and 7083: These data elements are only used when sub-lines are required.
