Receipt Guidelines (EPCIS v1.0)

See How To Use this Guide before interpreting the guidelines below.

Message Type: SOM_RECEIPT

Info Exchange Display Name: Shipment Receipt

When sending an element in Date or DateTime format, a valid date must be given. "00" is not a valid day or month value and "0000" is not a valid year value.
NTINs must follow the GS1 Guidance standards as found on the GS1 website.
  • Ex: urn:epc:id:sgtin:415001647778.0.100000000022
  • Format: urn:epc:id:sgtin:[company prefix].[indicator digit][item ref].[serial number]
Information regarding NTINs cannot be exchanged with trade partners unless the specific format outlined above is followed. If using an NTIN without following this format, an outbound error occurs when passing data from TraceLink to a trade partner.
