GS1 EDI Standards in the GS1 Community 20181. Introduction1.1 Scope and objectiveThis report presents the implementation of GS1 EDI standards in the year 2018. It is basedon the answers of 53 Member Organisations, of which 43 have reported some form of GS1EDI usage in their countries.The report covers the implementation of GS1 EDI standards - GS1 XML, GS1 Profiles of theUN/CEFACT XML and GS1 EANCOM in detail:Type and versions of standards implementedNumber of implementing companiesSpecific messages implementedImplementation of EDI standards in core GS1 sectors: Healthcare, Apparel, Footwear& Fashion, Public Procurement and Transport & Losgistics Communication methods used for exchanging EDI messages Member Organisation activities in the area of EDI There is also general information about Web EDI, non-GS1 EDI standards and proprietarysolutions.We asked similar questions to those from previous years, to provide comparable data.Information included in this report should give a good overview of the business processesin which EDI standards are implemented worldwide as well as the scope of implementation.1.2 Target audienceThe primary target audience of this report is the GS1 Global Office and GS1 MemberOrganisations.The GS1 Global Office uses the survey results to update the GS1 EDI strategy and definethe future of EDI. Information obtained during the survey helps in discovering themarketing, communication and training needs of Member Organisations and their users. Ithelps taking decisions based on the actual market situation, rather than assumptions.The GS1 Member Organisations benefit from the survey results by being able tocompare the situation in their market with what is happening in other countries. Knowingwhat is being implemented where, it is easier to seek assistance when similar needs arisein their country. They can also estimate how the situation may develop in their market,based on information from other countries. It is particularly useful in supporting usercompanies with the cross-border business relationship.However, the information presented can also be useful to GS1 user companies, industryassociations, EDI solution providers and other standard developmentorganisations. It enables them to benchmark their own actual or planned implementationwith user groups from their own and other countries. The overview of the market trendsmay also be a valuable aid in taking decisions about the EDI implementation.When sharing with external bodies or member companies, Member Organisations may wishto adjust the text to suit the intended audience.All contents copyright GS1 20193
GS1 EDI Standards in the GS1 Community 20181.3 CaveatsData reported in the survey are partly based on estimation made by GS1 MemberOrganisations, and partly on surveys conducted on the local markets and informationobtained from EDI solution providers. Thus, the implementation report should not beconsidered as a scientific research, but as an illustration of market trends. However, theestimation is made by people the most suitable for that: the GS1 Member Organisationstaff members, having daily contact with their user community and often assisting them inimplementation.Note: The number of responses received from GS1 Member Organisations is smallerthan in previous years (40 in 2017 and 68 in 2016), so comparisons with earlierresults should be made with caution. In Section 9, necessary adjustments have beenmade – on the assumption that implementations in countries that did not provideresponse did not disappear.1.4 Structure of the documentThe report is divided into eleven major sections:1. Introduction2. General EDI standards implementation statistics3. EANCOM 4. GS1 XML5. GS1 Profiles of the UN/CEFACT XML6. Web EDI7. Non GS1 EDI Standards8.

GS1 EDI Standards in the GS1 Community 20183. GS1 EANCOM 3.1 Number of GS1 EANCOM and implemented versionsIn year 2018, the implementation of EANCOM standards was reported by 31 countries.EANCOM versions 97 and 2002 are implemented in almost the same number of countries– 19 and 23 respectively. It should be noted, however, that many more companies in thesecountries use EANCOM 97 than 2002, although the exact number is not available. Version94 is still in use in 9 countries. If counted in terms of user companies, the EANCOM 97 isby far the most used one.An additional question has been asked about the syntax version 1 used for EANCOM 2002,to help determine the future development of EANCOM standard. The number of users ofspecific versions is included in the Table 3 below.Table 3: List of countries where EANCOM is used:EANCOM UsersCountryArgentinaAustraliaAustriaBelgium &LuxembourgBoliviaBrasilCanadaCroatiaCzech RepublicDenmarkEl biaSlovakiaSloveniaSouth AfricaSpainSwitzerlandTunisiaUK31 201550300075n/a68,203Implemented Versions of EANCOM 9419972002# of users# of users# of 003700n/an/a70,791EANCOM 2002Syntax 750YYY450200Y9 countriesYYY19 countries23 countries17 countriesYY7 countriesThe overview of differences between Syntax level 3 and 4 can be found on GS1 website.All contents copyright GS1 20197

EDI Standards in the GS1 Community 20184. GS1 XML4.1 Number of GS1 XML and implemented versionsIn 2018, the implementation of GS1 XML standards was reported by 25 countries. Themost widely used version set of GS1 XML standards was 3.x, and out of the threelatest EDI releases 3.0 and 3.3 were implemented in more countries than the otherones.Table 5: List of countries where the GS1 XML standards are used:COUNTRYArgentinaAustraliaAustriaBelgium & uth Africa4SpainSwitzerland25 Y2353754530Y50Y65YY304,79330275885YY3.310YYYY1 country14 countries6 countries9 countries7 countries 8 countriesNote: "Y" means that no information about the number of users, even estimated, is availableto this Member Organisation, although the version is known to have been used.Additional commentsGS1 Denmark: [Ver 2.x used for] GUSI INVOICEGS1 Greece: The MO members implement it in their internal systems, not through servicesprovided by our MO.3GS1 Italy: Yes, for Cash Handling and GDSN. 2.8 for Cash EDI4GS1 South Africa: We need to build more resources to assist the industry adoption12All contents copyright GS1 201911

EDI Standards in the GS1 Community 20186. Web EDIThe Web EDI involves the exchange of electronic documents via an internet enabledplatform. The business messages are available to the users as web forms that caneither be filled-in manually or in automated way. The message is then converted bythe translation application into the suitable EDI standard and transferred to theother user company.GS1 does not provide separate guidelines for the WEB EDI, but some GS1 MO doprovide local guides.Table 9: List of countries where Web EDI is used:COUNTRYArgentinaAustraliaAustriaBelgium & Luxembourg1BoliviaBrasilCanadaCroatiaCzech RepublicDenmark2El outh 31505150UK35003600In 2018: 26,669 in 35 countries,estimated for 2019: a1478n/a300n/aEst. 00n/aNote: "n/a" means that no information about the number of users, even estimated, isavailable to this Member Organisation, although the Web EDI solutions are known to havebeen used.Additional comments about Web EDI12345GS1 Belgium & Luxembourg: We do know the numbers are raising, because retailerskeep on onboarding new suppliers. Lots of them use webEDI solutions.GS1 Denmark: There are several companies that offer this type of service in Denmark.GS1 El Salvador: The information that we know is that 1 retailer has a Web EDI solution,and the 72 suppliers has the option, but we don’t know the number that are using it.GS1 Norway: There are several thousands of WEB EDI users.

EDI Standards in the GS1 Community 20187. Non GS1 EDI standards and solutionsNon-GS1 EDI standards have been implemented in 28 countries. The most widelyused ones are: UBL and various local standards (including ANSI X12). These resultsare very similar to previous years. The details can be found in Table 10 below.Table 10: List of non GS1 EDI standards used in GS1 member countries:CountryAustraliaAustriaStandardANSI X12UN/EDIFACTebInterfaceXMLOdette/VDABIS e-fff (so not only for B2G)Belgium &Luxembourg TradacomsBilaterally agreed flat files and xmlFINANCIAL EDIBrazilMERCANTIL BL 2.1 InvoiceMEDCOM medical communication n/an/a13500n/an/an/an/aAUTOMOTIVE reeceHondurasHungary3Ireland# of users2017Est. 2018n/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/an/aUCS 880 and 875UK" is valid in 4010, but not for GTINEDIFACTebXMLTIEKE's national standardsGencodBASDA sDetails n/aDetails n/aEDIFACT (not EANCOM)TradaComsBASDA 5DIY/Hardware)ANSIX12UBLXML PAJapanRyutsu BMSEDIFACTNetherlands4 BG Pharma protocolBMECATNicaraguaDetails n/aItalyAll contents copyright GS1 201917

EDI Standards in the GS1 Community 20188. Communication methods used to exchange EDImessagesThe most popular communication channel used to send the EDI messages is AS2,followed by Web Services and Value Added Networks. This result is similar toprevious years, but it is clear than more and more companies use Internet toexchange EDI messages, hence the growing popularity of AS2 and web services.

GS1 EDI implementation overview since 2005 and futuretrendsThe EDI implementation survey has been run for 14 years now. Although a largepart of data is based on estimation since absolute figures often are very difficult toobtain, these are made by people the most suitable for that: the GS1 MemberOrganisation staff members, having daily contact with their user community.Due to some inconsistencies in the responses received every year, the chartspresented below the chart represent statistical approximation of the 14 year results.Thus, they should be considered only as a trend illustration, rather than absolutefigures.Figure 3 illustrates the implementation of GS1 EANCOM and GS1 XML in last 14years, and the forecast for 2018.The Web EDI implementation is growing at even a greater rate, which indicates thatalso smaller companies and organisations are increasingly embracing EDI basedinformation exchange. See figure 4.From the chart it is clear that GS1 EANCOM is far from being an ‘old and obsolete’technology. The number of users amongst GS1 member companies is now morethan 100,000 companies and in 2018 it is forecasted to increase by further 5.000.The details of the GS1 EANCOM implementation results are presented in Figure 5.The newer – comparing to the ‘classic’ EDI – GS1 XML standard after a period ofmodest implementation levels during first years, is now exceeding 35.000companies. The details of the GS1 XML implementation results are presented inFigure 6.Please note that the slight dip in some of the figures in last years does not meanthat the implementation rate is decreasing, but more GS1 MOs base the figure theyreport on actual market data, rather than estimation. Besides, some MOs fromcountries where EDI is widely implemented did not provide figures this year, hencesome correction of the reported numbers.In general, the interest and actual adoption of the electronic form of businessdocuments exchange is constantly growing, confirming the benefits the companiescan get from this form of business integration.All contents copyright GS1 201920
