INTRODUCTION This specification provides the definition of the Pricing history message (PRIHIS) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport. 1. SCOPE 1.1 Functional definition A message furnishing the Pricing History and related information of goods previously ordered under conditions agreed to between a seller and a buyer. 1.2 Field of application The Pricing history message may be used for both national and international applications. It is based on universal practice related to administration, commerce and transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or industry. 1.3 Principles Pricing history and related information may be furnished for one or more goods items. Typically, the detailed pricing history of an item will contain the item description, the quantity ordered, unit price paid, and related information. Any individual set of pricing history data may contain more or less data depending on the nature of the historical file, nature of the previous purchases if any, and the needs of the party to whom the data will be transmitted. 2.
