Product Id function coded has the following restricted coded functions:
1 - Additional Identification - To provide an additional identity for the product identified in the LIN segment. The additional identification can consist of :
A supplemental identification which provides more information complementary to the main trade item number provided in the LIN segment, e.g., a batch number, promotional variant number, product group number, etc.
An alternative identification which may be used where no main trade item number has been provided in the LIN segment, e.g., a buyers article number, an HIBC code, etc.
2 - Identification for substitution - To provide the trade item number of a product which can substitute the product identified by the trade item number provided in the LIN segment when the latter is temporarily unavailable, e.g., a similar or identical product coded with a different GTIN (article coded in a different country), a different size unit of the same product, a similar product with for example a different brand name.
4 - Substituted for - The given item number is the number of the original product substituted for another identified in the LIN segment.
5 - Product Identification - To provide the primary product identification code when no GTIN has been provided in the LIN segment. GTIN should not be used in conjunction with this code value. It should be noted that when this code is used the product code specified here is the code which should be used for invoicing purposes.
X1 - No substitution accepted - The buyer will not accept any other product code than the one specified in the LIN segment. The code specified in the LIN segment is repeated in the PIA segment to confirm the only code acceptable.

Segment Notes:
This segment is used to specify additional or substitutional item identification codes such as a buyer's, or seller's item number.

Examples:
PIA+1+ABC1234:IN'
In this example the PIA segment is used to provide an additional identification to the trade item number provided in the LIN segment. The GTIN 5412345111115 provided in the LIN segment refers to the internal buyer's item number ABC1234.

PIA+2+4000862141664:SRV'
In this example the PIA segment is used to provide an GTIN identification for substitution. The product identified in the LIN segment by the GTIN 5412345111115 can be substituted by the product identified in the PIA segment by the GTIN 4000862141664 in case the former is not available.

PIA+4+5410738251028:SRV'
In this example the 'Substituted For' PIA segment is used to provide the number of the product which is being substituted for the former primary GTIN. The new code 5412345111184 would be included in the message in the LIN segment.

PIA+5+2209953C001L:AC'
This example details the HIBC code 2209953C001L  which is provided as the primary product code because no GTIN was provided in the LIN segment.

PIA+X1+5412345111115:SRV'
This example details the situation where the buyer explicitly specifies that no other product is acceptable but the one specified in the LIN segment. The PIA re-specifies the product code from the LIN segment.
