Statement |
Price
data alignment is the process of
communicating the Price data elements between the seller, buyer and any
third
party following the communication of core data elements of item and
party and
any subsequent maintenance messages. This Price process reflects the
required
activity of a manufacturer or supplier of a product that wishes to
provide an
item for global trade. The supplier must communicate the Price data
elements to
any buyer or third party to initiate an ability to do business
electronically
among the trading partners. Once the Core Party and Core Item data
attributes
are aligned, any price data message may be processed. Specifically, the
Price
can be communicated as part of the Item alignment data or in a
subsequent
separate message. |
| Objective |
| To supply the detail design of a Price
business transaction needed to meet the requirements of the referenced
BRAD(s). |
| Audience |
| The
audience of the standards would be
any participant in the global supply chain. This would include
retailers, manufacturers, service providers and other third parties. |

Case Description: |
Price
data alignment is the process of
communicating both the Price data elements following the communication
of core
data of item and party and any subsequent price maintenance between the
seller,
buyer and any third party. Once the Core Party and Core Item are
aligned, any
price maintenance may be processed.
The
buyer and seller must make contact and
set up a business relationship before trade can proceed. This is a
prerequisite
to all of the other steps. This initial contact can be made in many
different
ways. Following the establishment of the trading agreement, the parties
must
exchange their basic business data such as trading partner names,
addresses, locations,
item attributes, price lists, contracts and trading partner agreements.
Specifically, the price data can be communicated as part of the Item
alignment
data or in a subsequent separate message. |
| Actors
(Goal): |
The
two general players in the Price
process are the "seller" and the "buyer".
Depending on the specific nature of the
relationship other players may have a role, such as a Third Party. The
seller
identifies price data and sends the Price message to the buyer to map
the price
data, acknowledge the price data and to complete the initial Align Data
activities. Ensuring
the price data is
aligned, facilitates other processes like price maintenance, purchase
order,
despatch advice and invoice.
Seller:
Manufacturer or supplier of the
item.
Buyer:
Retailer or distributor of the item
Third
Party: Other parties that somehow influence the item and may include
creation,
distribution, publication, and/or maintenance of the item, serving as
an agent
for a seller or a buyer. |
