Producepak supports a variety of supply chain business processes: from Order, through Deliver to Payment. For each of these processes, different set of messages are needed.

Therefore, before you start any EDI implementation, answer the following questions:

Which business processes will be supported by GS1 EDI?
What data need to be exchanged in these processes?
Which business partners will send or receive these data?

EDI standards provide solutions for multiple sectors using the same GS1 EDI message. This is achieved through profiles applied to general GS1 EDI messages, for example food industry, entertainment, office supply or textile. Therefore, sector specifics should also be taken into account during the business process analysis.

In addition, in some countries user groups create message profiles, reflecting regional practices of implementing  EDI in specific sectors and business processes
