The standard is more or less obsolescent since the development of it effectively ceased in 1995 in favor of the EDIFACT EANCOM subsets. It was originally introduced in 1982 as an implementation of the UN/GTDI syntax, one of the precursors of EDIFACT, and was maintained and extended by the UK Article Numbering Association, now called GS1 UK. This is an early standard for EDI and was primarily used in the UK retail sector. ODETTE has been responsible for developing communications standards such as OFTP and OFTP2.0, constant improvement processes such as Materials Management Operations Guideline / Logistics Evaluation (MMOG/LE) and automotive-specific document standards as defined via the link below.įurther information about ODETTE can be found here ⟶įurther information about the ODETTE document types can be found here ⟶ Tradacoms The organization develops tools and recommendations that improve the flow of goods, services product data and business information across the whole automotive value chain. They are the equivalent of the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) in North America. The Organization for Data Exchange by Tele Transmission in Europe is a group that represents the interests of the automotive industry in Europe. EDIFACT has seen some adoption in the ASPAC region, however, there are currently more XML-based standards being used in this particular region today.įurther information about EDIFACT can be found here ⟶įurther information about the EDIFACT document types can be found here ⟶ ODETTE EDIFACT is widely used across Europe, mainly due to the fact that many companies adopted it very early on. The EDIFACT standard provides a set of syntax rules to structure, an interactive exchange protocol and provides a set of standard messages which allow multi-country and multi-industry exchange of electronic business documents. The work of maintenance and further development of this standard is done through the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) under the UN Economic Commission for Europe. United Nations/Electronic Data Interchange for Administration, Commerce and Transport is the international standard that was developed by the United Nations. GS1 US also manages the ASC X12 derived Uniform Communication Standard (UCS) for the grocery industry and Industrial/Commercial Standard (I/C) for the industrial sector.įurther information about VICS can be found here ⟶įurther information about the UCS and I/C standards can be found here ⟶įurther information about the VICS document types can be found here ⟶ UN/EDIFACT In 1988 GS1 US became the management and administrative body for VICS EDI. VICS EDI is being utilized by thousands of companies, department and specialty retail stores, mass merchandisers and their respective suppliers. It is a subset of the ANSI ASC X12 national standard. The Voluntary Inter-industry Commerce Standard is used by the general merchandise retail industry across North America. EANCOM was originally developed for the retail sector and has subsequently grown to become the most widely used UN/EDIFACT subset and is now found in a variety of other industry sectors such as healthcare, construction and publishing.įurther information about EANCOM can be found here ⟶ VICS The EANCOM messages, maintained by GS1, are more detailed in nature compared to the TRADACOMS message set. This standard was originally conceived in 1987 by the EAN General Assembly and was to be developed on the then emerging international UN/EDIFACT standard. ASC X12 also contributes to UN/EDIFACT messages that are used widely outside of the United States.įurther information about ANSI X12 can be found here ⟶įurther information about the ANSI X12 document types can be found here ⟶ EANCOM ANSI X12 was originally conceived to support companies across different industry sectors in North America however today there are more than 300,000 companies worldwide using X12 EDI standards in daily business transactions. In 1979, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) chartered the Accredited Standards Committee (ASC) X12 to develop uniform standards for inter-industry electronic exchange of business transactions, namely electronic data interchange.
