EDItX Trade Book Supply transactions

Order - Order Response - Order Status Enquiry - Order Status Report Order Cancellation - Advance Ship Notice - Stock Enquiry - Stock Report - Invoice - Returns Request - Returns Response - XML Message - XML Message Acknowledgement

These EDItX formats are intended for general book trade use, covering transactions between retailers, wholesalers and publishers where ordered items are supplied to, and for resale by, the trade customer responsible for sending the order. 

Each transaction has its own individual XML schema file, but all share a single code list file. This will enable new issues of the code lists to be made without a new version of the schemas that use them.

The set of EDItX transaction formats listed below has been published collectively as ‘Issue 1’, because the previously-published formats did not cover a full set of transaction types and have not been widely implemented. Issue 1 includes a number of new formats (indicated by ‘Version 1.0’ in each case) as well as revised versions of formats previously published (indicated by ‘Version 1.1’ in each case), so that the complete set now covers a sufficient range of transaction types to have been accepted for implementation in several countries. 

Also included in Issue 1 is an XML Message format that is intended to be used for transmission of multiple transactions of the same type as a single message in XML format, and a corresponding Message Acknowledgement format. These formats can be used to enable business systems to send, receive and acknowledge receipt of multiple transactions independently of whatever message transport protocol (e.g. FTP, email, AS2, web services) is used.  The XML Message schema includes all the separate transaction formats combined in a single schema module. The XML Message schema module, XML Message Acknowledgement schema module and code list module are downloadable as a single ZIP package.

Note that the code list module is downloadable separately from all the individual format packages and is not included in the ZIP packages for the individual formats.
