Hello Kathir, within a EDIFACT Message of a specific type (for example COPARN aka Container Announcement) the BGM Segment specifies the specific type and function of the document. (This is true acress the board, often related to the quality of the announcement. For example if it is a planned forecast or a real business order. And it also specifies if it is an change to a already transmitted document)
It depends on your partner if all messages inside your transmission may/must have the same document type or not - it is typically best to expect mixed content and have a split/merge step before processing the messages. Understanding the COPARN messages seems to be more complicated than only the BGM code (according to the PSA Guide they also care for the Equippment Detail Group 7 - EQD). Each Message in a transmission will have their own BGM after the UNH. The first (sub)element after the BGM is C002.1001 which contains the coded document name. Strange enough the message guides do actually refer to qualifiers with other meanings: Guideline: 12 = Gate out move 11 = Gate in move UNCL: 10 Party information Document/message providing basic data concerning a party. 12 Mill certificate Certificate certifying a specific quality of agricultural products. The third one specifies the message function (1225 = 9 original, 4 change, 2 addition, 3 deletion). No idea wha the UN Codelist is totally different from the codes used in the guide, but it it generally a good idea to stick with the guide from your partner or a industrie organisation.

BGM qualifier when multiple messages comes in a single interchange <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EDI-L/message/30852;_ylc=X3oDMTJycHRtdGZzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE1BGdycElkAzIxMDc2NzYEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1MDA1NTgyBG1zZ0lkAzMwODUyBHNlYwNkbXNnBHNsawN2bXNnBHN0aW1lAzEzMTI0NDM3NTE-> Posted by: "j_kathiresan" [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]?Subject=%20Re%3A%20BGM%20qualifier%20when%20multiple%20messages%20comes%20in%20a%20single%20interchange> j_kathiresan <http://profiles.yahoo.com/j_kathiresan> Wed Aug 3, 2011 2:13 pm (PDT) Hi, I think BGM+.. is the qualifier which says what kind of message it is. Example, standard may be EDI FACT D 95B but the message might be different, Coprar load or discharge. Is that correct ? Can we rely on the BGM qualifier to decide the type of the message? Moreover what will be the BGM qualifier when multiple message comes in a single interchange? Thanks, Kathir. ...
