| Segment Notes: |
This segment is used to group a set of related products together.
The detail section of the Price/Sales Catalogue starts with the PGI segment. PGI is used to group products, by price, by product type, by buying group, and/or by supplier/manufacturer.
In the case of product grouping then :
DE 5379: Code value '10E' is use to identify a group of product which when put together forms a finished item, e.g. a plate can be sold individually but can be put together with knives, forks, cups, etc., to form a dinner service.
DE 5389 and 5388: These data element are used to provide the identification of a product group. Identification numbers provided here may be allocated on a bi-lateral basis between trading partners.
Products can also be grouped by supplier and/or manufacturer, identified in the NAD-CTA-COM segment group following the PGI segment.
If no grouping is used then:
DE 5379 in PGI has the value 2 = No price group used.
UN/EDIFACT DE 5389 Product group, coded an..3' does not meet all identified business requirements. A data maintenance request has been raised to change the DE name and definition, and the format from an..3 to an..35.
