Catalogue with Updates
This profile
describes a process comprising an electronic Catalogue, Catalogue Item Specification Update and Catalogue Pricing Update. It allows a Supplier (or third party acting on a Supplier´s behalf — Provider) to send a Customer (or third party acting on a Customer´s behalf — Receiver) a Catalogue describing Items (goods or services) available for purchase.
This profile allows the Catalogue document to update an existing Catalogue by replacing entire Catalogue Lines. In this case, the Catalogue document will contain only the Catalogue Lines that are to be added, deleted and/or updated. To facilitate this usage, the Catalogue Line contains an action code describing how the recipient should process the Catalogue Line.
This profile specifically allows only Item specifications (not prices) to be updated in isolation via a Catalogue Item Specification Update document and prices (not Item specifications) to by updated in isolation via a Catalogue Pricing Update document.
If a contract between the Customer and the Supplier exists, its terms overrule those stated in the Catalogue.
Note: the update of an Item specification and price requires a Catalogue document with an ‘update´ action code on the relevant Catalogue Line.
This process is intended to result in acceptance or rejection of the Catalogue or Catalogue update document in full by the use of a business level Application Response.
