issue of the EDItEUR EDI Implementation Guidelines for Book Trade
Distribution covers the use of EDI messaging to handle orders, order
responses and other order-related messages, delivery notifications and
invoices/credit notes.

Structure of an EDIFACT transmission

Using the Purchase Order for book orders
T.4
Using the Purchase Order Response for order responses and reports
T.5

T.6
Using the Order Status Enquiry for order chasers
T.7
Using the Despatch Advice (Version 1.1) to notify deliveries
T.7
Using the Despatch Advice (Version 1.2) to notify deliveries-see note
below
T.8
Using the Invoice for invoices and credit notes
Version 1.2 of the Despatch Advice extends the capabilities of the
message so that it is possible to specify the exact contents of the
packages making up a despatch, and the barcoded label carried by each
package. This enables the message to be used to support an automated
“goods received” system in a customer’s warehouse
.
The more limited Version 1.1 is still valid as an EDItEUR
implementation; and although Version 1.2 includes (and in no way
alters) Version 1.1, the previous documentation is being kept available
on the website, since it may be easier to use for those who do not
require the added features of 1.2.
