CNTCND Contractual Conditions
1. Introduction

Status

MESSAGE TYPE : CNTCND
REFERENCE DIRECTORY : D.01B
EANCOM® SUBSET VERSION : 003

Definition

A message sent by a buyer to its supplier or by the supplier to the buyer, and/or other interested parties, providing the contractual conditions of a previously negotiated contract in order to enable the automatic validation of orders and in the verification of invoices prior to payment.

Principles

This message is typically used in the case where a general contract has been established between parties against which goods will be ordered over a period of time on an order by order basis. The contract will have been previously negociated and accepted. This message only contains the information which can be used to automatically approve the transmission of an order or the correctness of an invoice. It is not intended to contain the totality of the contractual information.

This message is used to communicate contractual conditions for products already known by the trading partners. The message should not be used to perform the function of data alignment. The EANCOM® PRICAT, PRODAT and PARTIN messages should be used to perform data alignment before the CNTCND message is exchanged.
