UN/EDIFACT D99A PRODAT Message

Review the PRODAT segment sequence, mandatory fields, repeat counts and valid codes for the D99A EDIFACT directory.

What the PRODAT message is for

Product Data Message. Detailed product master data: attributes, dimensions, composition, classifications and regulatory information.

PRODAT carries the product detail that a price catalogue has no room for. Where PRICAT answers what a product costs and how it is packed, PRODAT answers what it actually is: dimensions and weights, materials, hazard classifications, country of origin, storage requirements, and the attributes a retailer needs to list it. It matters most where regulation or online listing demands depth, such as food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and consumer electronics, and it is typically exchanged when a product is introduced or its specification changes rather than on a routine cycle.

Who exchanges it

Sent by manufacturers and brand owners, received by retailers, distributors and data pools. Complements PRICAT, and underpins the product identifiers used in ORDERS and DESADV.

Segments that carry the parts people get wrong

BGMMessage identifier and function.
LINThe product being described.
PIAProduct identifiers across the different coding schemes in use.
IMDDescriptions and characteristics, which is where most of the detail lives.
MEAMeasurements: dimensions, weights and volumes.
PACPackaging detail.
RFFReferences to specifications, certificates or regulatory documents.

In practice: Product data messages are frequently large and sent infrequently, so problems surface at exactly the wrong moment, during a product launch. Validate a sample end to end well before the launch date.
