EANCOM® 2002 S3 Edition 2016 Part II
INVOIC Invoice message
4. Segments Description
 
UNA - C 1 - Service string advice
The service string advice shall begin with the upper case characters UNA immediately followed by six characters in the order shown below. The same character shall not be used in more than one position of the UNA.
 
UNB - M 1 - Interchange header
This segment is used to envelope the interchange, as well as to identify both, the party to whom the interchange is sent and the party who has sent the interchange. The principle of the UNB segment is the same as a physical envelope which covers one or more letters or documents, and which details, both the address where delivery is to take place and the address from where the envelope has come.
 
UNG - C 1 - Functional group header
Within EANCOM® the use of the UNG..UNE segments should not be used for grouping of multiple message types in the same interchange as this is not considered good practice. However, they can be used by organisations to create their own identifiable application level envelopes, which can be addressed from the originating department to a department in the recipient's system, e.g. to group multiple issuers in one transmission file with invoices.
 
UNE - C 1 - Functional group trailer
Within EANCOM® the use of the UNG..UNE segments should not be used for grouping of multiple message types in the same interchange as this is not considered good practice. However, they can be used by organisations to create their own identifiable application level envelopes, which can be addressed from the originating department to a department in the recipient's system, e.g. to group multiple issuers in one transmission file with invoices.
 
UNZ - M 1 - Interchange trailer
