852 Product Activity Data

Functional Group= PD
Purpose: This X12 Transaction Set contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Product Activity
Data Transaction Set (852) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The
transaction set can be used to advise a trading partner of inventory, sales, and other product activity information.
Product activity data enables a trading partner to plan and ship, or propose inventory replenishment quantities, for
distribution centers, warehouses or retail outlets. The receiver of the transaction set will maintain some type of
inventory/product movement records for its trading partners to enable replenishment calculations based on data
provided by the distributor, warehouse or retailer.

Notes:
1/0600L The reporting location is required. The reporting location is specified explicitly in the N1 segment using
the code RL in N101, or implicitly using the SDQ segment (Table 2) with the location data elements.
They are mutually exclusive (the SDQ and the N1 with N101 containing RL).
1/0600 The reporting location is required. The reporting location is specified explicitly in the N1 segment using
the code RL in N101, or implicitly using the SDQ segment (Table 2) with the location data elements.
They are mutually exclusive (the SDQ and the N1 with N101 containing RL).
2/0800L The quantity for the item identified in the LIN segment is required. Quantity is specified either in the ZA
segment (ZA02) or in the SDQ segment.
2/0800 The quantity for the item identified in the LIN segment is required. Quantity is specified either in the ZA
segment (ZA02) or in the SDQ segment.
3/0100 The number of line items (CTT01) is the accumulation of the number of LIN segments. Hash total
(CTT02) is not used in this transaction set.
When sending item and activity data in the LIN loop, the CTT segment is required.

ST Transaction Set Header Heading - Mandatory
Loop: N/A Elements: 2

User Option (Usage): Must use

Purpose: To indicate the start of a transaction set and to assign a control number

Element Summary:
Ref Id Element Name Req Type Min/Max Usage
ST01 143 Transaction Set Identifier Code M ID 3/3 Must use

Description: Code uniquely identifying a Transaction Set

852 Product Activity Data

ST02 329 Transaction Set Control Number M AN 4/9 Must use

Description: Identifying control number that must be unique within the transaction set
functional group assigned by the originator for a transaction set

Semantics:
1. The transaction set identifier (ST01) is used by the translation routines of the interchange partners to select
the appropriate transaction set definition (e.g., 810 selects the Invoice Transaction Set).
2. The implementation convention reference (ST03) is used by the translation routines of the interchange
partners to select the appropriate implementation convention to match the transaction set definition. When
used, this implementation convention reference takes precedence over the implementation reference
specified in the GS08.

2. XQ04 is a unique report identifier assigned by the sender.

Comments:
1. This segment, used alone, provides the most efficient method of providing organizational identification. To
obtain this efficiency the "ID Code" (N104) must provide a key to the table maintained by the transaction
processing party.
2. N105 and N106 further define the type of entity in N101.
