INTRODUCTION This specification provides the definition of the Data Plot Sheet (DAPLOS) to be used in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in administration, commerce and transport. 1. SCOPE The UN Standard DAPLOS may be used for both national and international trade. It is based on universal commercial practice and is not dependent on the type of business or industry. 1.1 Functional definition A message to describe the data plot sheet exchanged between farmers and suppliers. This information includes technical description and information of the crop production in order to give information about traceability to the farmer's partners (cooperatives, manufacturers, suppliers etc.) 1.2 Field of application The Data Plot Sheet 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 This message is an exchange between and agricultural unit and a receiving organisation (such as cooperatives, manufacturers, food industry). This message is divided in two parts: The Header section containing - The document number - The identification of the parties involved The Detail section providing the breakdown of 1 to n plots sheets contained in the exchange: - General points on the plot sheet (dates, species, variety, area, contracts, etc.) - History of the plot (previous crops, enrichment, etc.) - Analysis (details of soil analyses carried out on the plot.) - Events (i.e. all events such as observations, advice, actions taken, etc.) This breakdown will be provided as many times as there are plot sheets in the document. 2.

Part 4, Chapter 2.6 UN/ECE UNSM - General Introduction, Section 2 4. MESSAGE DEFINITION 4.1 Segment clarification This section should be read in conjunction with the segment table which indicates mandatory, conditional and repeating requirements. This section should be read in conjunction with the segment table which indicates mandatory, conditional and repeating requirements. The following guidelines and principles apply to the whole message and are intended to facilitate the understanding and implementation of the message: All specified dates and/or times should be in the format 'ccyymmdd'/'hhmm' unless all parties involved in the transaction agree that there is a functional requirement for an alternative format. Periods should be specified as whole numbers representing the required period as indicated in the date or time or period format qualifier (weeks,months,etc.). Conditional data that is not required in the message should not be included. Care must be taken that the segment qualifier in dependent segments does not conflict with the segment qualifier of the trigger segment of the group. Free text information within the message should be avoided as this inhibits automatic processing. 00010 UNH, Message header A service segment starting and uniquely identifying a message.
