ONIX for Books Supply Update format

The ONIX for Books Supply Update message format has been developed at the request of a number of ONIX user groups to enable price and availability and other supply-related data to be updated without the need to re-send a complete descriptive record for the product in question.

In effect, the Supply Update format allows SupplyDetail and/or MarketRepresentation composites, together with a very small number of related elements, to be replaced without sending any other parts of the ONIX record.

Note that the use of the Supply Updates format is entirely optional.  Its adoption should be agreed between trading partners or within an ONIX user group before it is brought into use.
