CompTIA EIDX Document Identification:
Product Identification Reference and Drawings Overflow
In ASC X12, there are times when all pairs
of the Product/Service Identification Qualifier (DE235) and Product/
Service Identification (DE234) in a segment contain data. For example,
the ASC X12 LIN segment allows for thirteen DE 235/234 pairs, and
the ASC X12 PO1 allows for ten pairs. One drawing reference can
use up two pairs (one for the drawing, one for its revision). Some
types of products (often custom assemblies) have several drawings
which need to be conveyed in a transaction/message.
In UN EDIFACT, this problem rarely occurs, since the standard allows
for 60 Product ID references on the PIA segment. The remainder of
this section will address only ASC X12, since EDIFACT seems to accommodate
the additional codes well.
If there is a need to convey additional product information within
the product loop such as the PO1 segment, use REF or N9 segments
with appropriate qualifiers. The number of references to send is
limited by the standards and reasonable business practices.

- Part 1 is the packaging form.
- Part 2 is the packaging material.
The following Product/Service Identification qualifiers for ASC X12 secondary packaging
codes are recommended for DE103 PACKAGING CODE.
Shipping packaging refers to external packaging which relates to
shipping. Shipping packaging is conveyed in the TD1 Carrier Detail segment in ASC X12.
A product's package (or component packaging) is an integral part of the
product, e.g., die package in surface mount diodes. Product packages are considered to be
part specifications.
Secondary packaging (or ‘presentation’) is a packaging form which
is external of the product. However, it may not be external to the manufacturing
process, e.g., auto-insertion, and it may require a unique manufacturer’s or
seller’s product number. Trays, tubes, and reels are examples of secondary
packaging.
This section discusses only secondary packaging. Secondary packaging data is conveyed
using the following:
