EANCOM EDI standard
EANCOM is an EDIFACT subset developed by GS1, which is mainly used in the consumer goods industry or in retail. An EDIFACT subset, such as EANCOM, is a defined subset of the UN/EDIFACT standard. In the EANCOM subset, only the required segments from the underlying UN/EDIFACT standard are used. The special features of a subset are the industry-specific qualifiers. These extend the standard by the usual and required characteristics in the industry.
The EANCOM subset developed by GS1 is available in three different versions. All versions contain the usual document types for mapping the usual business processes of the consumer goods industry (46 message types).
The information that a message is an EANCOM subset is found in the message header, the so-called UNH segment:
The version number of the EANCOM subset is noted in data element 0057, e.g. EAN007
UNH+ME000001+DESADV:D:01B:UN:EAN007'
