EDIFACT INTERCHANGE

This document outlines the various segments and elements within the UNA, UNB
and UNZ segments of the EDIFACT standard.

Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce & Transport


(EDIFACT). It coordinates international standardization by working through the
UN/ECE (United Nations/Economic Commission for Europe). It provides:
 An international EDI standard
 A set of syntax rules
 Data elements, segments and codes
 Messages

In EDIFACT there are two kinds of segments – service segments and generic
segments.

Service segments include:


 Envelopes (UNB-UNZ, UNG-UNE, UNH-UNT)
 Delimiter String Advice (UNA)
 Section Separator (UNS)

Generic segments are:


 DOC to identify and specify documents
 MOA for monetary amounts
 DTM for dates and times
 NAD for name and address data

The outermost level of the message envelope structure is the interchange


envelope. It is defined by the UNA, UNB and UNZ segments which are the focus
of this document.

UNA:+.? '

This segment is used to inform the receiver of the interchange that a set of
service string characters which are different to the default characters is being
used. When the default set is used, the UNA segment need not be sent. When
the UNA segment is sent, it must immediately precede the UNB segment and
contain the six service string characters used in the interchange.

Regardless of whether or not all of the service string characters are being
changed, every data element within this segment must be filled, i.e., if some
default values are being used together with user-defined values then both the
default and the user-defined values must be specified.

The UNA segment itself does not have any element separators.

The UNB segment contains:
 Date/Time Stamp (M)
 Interchange Control Numbers (M)
 Password and Application Reference (C)
 Processing Priority Reference (C)
 Acknowledgment Request Indicators (C)
 Communications Agreement ID (C)
 Test Indicators (C)

The UNB segment is used to envelope the interchange and also to identify the
party for whom the interchange is intended and the party who has sent the
interchange. The principle of the UNB segment is the same as a physical
envelope which covers one or more letters or documents and which details
the address where delivery is to take place and the address from where the
envelope has come.
