UN/EDIFACT D97.A <strong>OSTRPT</strong> - <strong>Order</strong> status report message<br />

3. MESSAGE DEFINITION<br />

3.1 <strong>Message</strong> Structure<br />

The <strong>Order</strong> status report message of UN/EDIFACT is structured in two sections, a Heading<br />

Section and a Detail Section.<br />

3.1.1. <strong>Message</strong> structure - Heading section<br />

The heading section is used to give the general information relating to the whole message.<br />

Examples of this kind of information are references to the order status request, order status<br />

date, and the identification of the parties involved.<br />

3.1.2. <strong>Message</strong> structure - Detail section<br />

The detail section is controlled by the segment group 3 with the mandatory segment DOC<br />

and the message can have a maximum of 999 segment groups.<br />

Each line of the detail section provides the possibility to give order status information at<br />

three different levels. This can be for an order, for one or several items of an order or for<br />

one or several delivery schedules, or split deliveries of an order item.<br />

The segment DOC of the detail section is used to specify the order number and the related<br />

status information is given in segment group 4, triggered by the status (STS) segment.<br />

The segment LIN of group 5 is used to specify the order item by its number and the related<br />

status information is given in the segment group 7, triggered by the STS segment.<br />

The segment group 15, triggered by the SCC segment, and the segment group 16, triggered<br />

by the LOC segment allows the specification of a delivery schedule or deliveries split by<br />

location. The related status information is given in the segment group 17, triggered by the<br />

STS segment.<br />

3.2. Mapping of the Data model to the message<br />

To understand the mapping process, completed by the EDIFER working group, it is<br />

necessary to have knowledge about the structure of the official EDIFACT <strong>OSTRPT</strong> message<br />

and the functionality of the segment groups and segments as defined by the EDIFACT<br />

message development group MD1 - Trade.<br />

To have the complete information about the official version we recommend the use of the<br />

official document published by UNITED NATIONS - EDIFACT directory D97.A.<br />

The mapping is done starting from the entities, relationships and attributes of the data model<br />

to the EDIFACT message.<br />

This mapping is presented as a table containing the entities with the following information ;<br />

- the attributes<br />

- the segment group number<br />

- the segment by its tag<br />

- the Edifact data element<br />

- remarks about the usage.<br />
