EDIFACT category

The EDIFACT category contains four subtypes.

The following are subtypes of the EDIFACT category:

  • Control type defines the EDIFACT control structure objects. The Control category is the same on each EDIFACT version schema.
  • Group type defines the functional groups for the version.
  • Msg type defines the messages for the version.
  • V category defines the message contents, segments, composites, and elements in that particular version.

The version-specific data objects can be found under the category whose name begins with a V followed by the version number. For example, V93_2 is the name of the category in the edif93_2 version schema.

For more information on these subtypes, see the "EDIFACT Category" section.
