0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Invoice
message (INVOIC) 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 claiming payment for goods or services supplied under
conditions agreed between the seller and the buyer.
The United Nations Standard Invoice Message, with correct data
qualification, serves also as the specification for Debit Note
and Credit Note messages. Throughout this document, the
reference to 'Invoice' may be interpreted as conveying the
wider meaning of 'Invoice/Credit Note/Debit Note'.
1.2 Field of Application
The Invoice 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
- A seller may invoice for one or more transactions
- An invoice may refer to goods, items or services related to
one or more orders, delivery instructions, call-offs, etc.
- An invoice may contain references to payment terms
- An invoice for cross border transactions may contain
additional information for customs and/or statistical
purposes/services
- An invoice may contain transport details.

4. MESSAGE DEFINITION
4.1 Data Segment Clarification
This section should be read in conjunction with 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.
