EXTENSION SPECIFICS TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS v. 2.1

Problem Statement

Technical Data alignment between partners of the supply chain (salesmen, buyers and logistic actors) is an essential condition in the automation of the administrative treatments.
 
This alignment crosses the sending and receiving of fact sheets containing, besides basic data and those relative to the hierarchy of products, specific technical characteristics in finished or semi finished products, allowing the specific item information needs of buyers and salesmen to be met.
 
This basic information and the hierarchy is already organized and structured.
The objective of these work is to allow the standardization and the structuring of the specific technical characteristics of items.
 
These fact sheets allow the sending of the technical characteristics on behalf of the manufacturer without being seized again by the distributor.
 
It allows users to look for products with regard to a range, or a feature, to use this information for an internal custom (i.e. commercial, after sale services, etc.), or an external usage: (i.e. spread the information with the partners and the end users).
 
The information is thus right, precise and up to date; the risk of error is reduced and the adaptation of the data allows an automation of the updates and the data processing.
 
Today, these technical characteristics are sent in EDI by using the group of segments CCI-CAV-MEA of the message PRODAT. The users want to exchange this information in XML.
