0.    INTRODUCTION

       This specification provides the definition of the Purchase
       order response message (ORDRSP) 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 from the seller to the buyer, responding to a
       purchase order message or a purchase order change request
       message.

1.2   Field of Application

       The UN Standard Purchase Order Response Message may be applied
       for both national and international trade. It is based on
       universal commercial practice and is not dependent on the type
       of business or industry.

1.3   Principles

       - A seller may respond for one or more goods items or services.
       
       - The response may be for a Purchase order or a Purchase order
       change request: 
       
       - an acknowledgment of receipt and understanding of data, 
       
       - confirmation of acceptance, 
       
       - a proposal of amendment, 
       
       - a notification of non-acceptance for all or part of the
       message.
       
       - A purchase order response may refer to goods items or
       services related to one or more delivery schedules, call-offs,
       etc.
       
       - A purchase order response for cross-border transactions may
       contain additional information for customs and/or statistical
       purposes.
       
       - A purchase order response may contain details for transport
       and destination as well as delivery patterns.
       
       - A buyer's purchase order may be responded to by one or more
       response messages, according to business practice.

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.
       
       For guidance, the following principles serve to remove
       ambiguity in the application of an EDI Purchase Order Response
       
       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.

4.1.1  Header section

       Information to be provided in the Header section:

0010 | UNH, Message header
       A service segment starting and uniquely identifying a message.
       The message type code for the Purchase order response message
       is ORDRSP.
       
       Note: Purchase order response messages conforming to this
       document must contain the following data in segment UNH,
       composite S009:

       Data element  0065 ORDRSP
                     0052 D
                     0054 95B
                     0051 UN

0020   BGM, Beginning of message
       A segment by which the sender must uniquely identify the order
       response by means of its number and when necessary its
       function.
       
       The document/message name, coded must have the same code value
       as in the message for which the response is being made.

0030   DTM, Date/time/period
       A segment specifying general dates and, when relevant, times
       related to the whole message. The segment must be specified at
       least once to identify the order response date.
       
       Examples of the use of this DTM segment are: Lead times that
       apply to the whole of the Order response and, if no schedule is
       to be specified, the delivery date.
       
       The Date/time/period segment within other Segment groups should
       be used whenever the date/time/period needs to be logically
       related to another specified data item. e.g. Payment due date
       is specified within the PAT Segment group.

0040   PAI, Payment instructions
       A segment requesting or confirming conditions of payment,
       guarantee and method of payment for the whole order response An
       example of the use of this segment is to specify that a
       documentary credit will be used.

0050   ALI, Additional information
       A segment indicating special conditions related to the total
       order response owing to origin, customs preference, or other

          recommended that where possible only the coded form of the
          party ID should be specified. e.g. The Buyer and Seller are
          known to each other, thus only the coded ID is required, but
