A message specifying details for goods or services ordered
under conditions agreed between the seller and the buyer.

national and international trade. It is based on universal
commercial practice and is not dependent on the type of
business or industry.
1.3 Principles
- A buyer may order for one or more goods items or services.
- A purchase order may refer to goods items or services related
to one or more delivery schedules, call-offs, etc.
- A purchase order for cross-border transactions may contain
additional information for customs and/or statistical purposes.
- A purchase order may contain details for transport and
destination as well as delivery patterns.

4. MESSAGE DEFINITION
4.1 Data Segment Clarification
This section should be read in conjunction with the Branching
Diagram and the Segment Table which indicate 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/times should be in the format
'yymmdd'/'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 format
qualifier (weeks, months, etc.)
Where a choice of code or text is given only the code element
should be used wherever possible.
Conditional data that is not required in the message should not
be included.
Care must be taken that the segment qualifier in dependent
segments do not conflict with the segment qualifier of the
trigger segment of a group.
Free text information within the message should be avoided as
this inhibits automatic processing.
