A message furnishing the Pricing History and related
information of goods previously ordered under conditions agreed
to between a seller and a buyer.

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

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.
