841 Specifications/Technical Information
FUNCTIONAL GROUP=SP
This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the
data
contents of the Specifications/Technical Information Transaction Set (841)
for
use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment.
The transaction set can be used to transmit or request specifications or
tech-nical
information between trading partners. It can be used to transmit
engi-neering
change and engineering change requests. It can also be used to
allow EDI trading partners the ability to exchange a complete or partial
techni-cal
description of a product, process, service, etc. over the same path as any
other EDI transaction. The detail area can include graphic, text,
parametric,
tabular, image, spectral, or audio data. A transmission includes
identification
information to assist the receiver in interpreting and utilizing the
information
included in the transaction.
Further action as a consequence of the receipt and initial processing of the
specification or other technical data may or may not require human
interven-tion.
The transmission and receipt of the data may require private agreement
between the trading partners to automate the receipt of the data.
The total transaction must be in the general form of all ASC X12
transactions
so that an EDI computer system will be able to automatically recognize it as
a
Specification/Technical Information Transaction Set and pass it on for
pro-cessing
of the data itself. The transaction set is not media dependent.
The detail area of the Specification/Technical Information Transaction Set
provides a structure which allows for the exchange of a variety of
specification
information. For example, if the transaction contains information describing
a
complete assembly, it would be necessary to include the assembly model, the
models for each of the individual parts, and the associated specifications.
In
the case of a process it may be necessary to transmit the specification of
the
product along with the specifications of the process and raw materials. This
transaction set can also be linked to other transaction sets.
This transaction set is not limited to a specific transmission protocol and
uses
other standards as applicable where they do not conflict with these
require-ments
for specification transaction.

Surprised nobody has mentioned it yet, there is an EDI message out
there that
handles binary data like pictures of signatures or scanned documents. Can't
remember the message one of the pillars of EDI on this list may expand on
this.
