Project Name: UOM Standard

Description
2.1 Purpose
The purpose of this project
is to determine which of two UOM standards should be endorsed as the official
PIDX standard: UN/ECE or ANSI. Currently, PIDX endorses both standards but
as we move forward with both transactions and catalogs, it will become
increasingly important to comply with a single standard.
2.2
Scope
- Gap analysis between UN/ECE and ANSI standards –
overlap, missing, etc.
- Individual company analyses of UOM
standard/proprietary usage and requirements
- Define PIDX goals with respect to global
adoption/international requirements and with respect to other industry
standards organizations with respect to UOM standardization
- List of UOMs to be requested of appropriate
standards organizations
2.3
Goal
This initiative is being
undertaken with the goal of increasing adoption of PIDX standards for
transactions and reducing complexity of catalog implementations as we expect
electronic catalogs to figure more prominently in the procure-to-payment
process. Competing standards add
complexity and ambiguity to implementations.
