EDIFACT INVOIC: Problem reading PIA-Line

[Josef Peuermann]

Hey all,

I have the following information in my file (for a certain invoice line):

LIN+1'
PIA+1+ABC12345:SA::91'
IMD+F++:::HelloWorldItem::DE'

I can read the "HelloWorldItem" like this:

inn.get({'BOTSID':'UNH'},{'BOTSID':'LIN'},{'BOTSID':'IMD','7077':'F','C273.7008#1':None})})

According to the EDIFACT specification, I should be able to read "ABC12345" like this:

inn.get({'BOTSID':'UNH'},{'BOTSID':'LIN'},{'BOTSID':'PIA','C212.7140':None})

But I can't get any value except for "1" (the first one after "PIA+") out of this line.

Can anyone lend a hand?

Regard,

Josef

The same weirdly goes for the CUX-Line.

there is a debug option in bots.

see part of wiki that explains how to do that.

kind regards

This worked:

inn.get({'BOTSID':'UNH'},{'BOTSID':'LIN'},{'BOTSID':'PIA','C212#1.7143':'SA','C212#1.7140':None})

The '#1' was missing. I found this in the edifact grammar. Is there a sure way to know which segment IDs need a #1, #2, etc. and which do not (without checking the grammar everytime)?

Regards,

Josef

It is necessary always when in the guidelines a data element or composite is repeated several times, like on the two examples below.

[Josef Peuermann]

OK, so something I have to know by heart (because in our supplier's specification there is, unfortunately, no indicator for this and those segments which are duplicate, are not near each other in the document).

Thanks!

You can find the same information in a very convinient EDIFACT directory: https://www.truugo.com/edifact/d96a/invoic/
