PRICAT questions

What does PRICAT carry besides prices?

Product master data: identifiers, descriptions, dimensions, weights, packaging hierarchies and validity dates.

How does PRICAT relate to GDSN?

Many retailers moved product data synchronization to the GS1 Global Data Synchronisation Network, but PRICAT is still used for prices and for partners outside GDSN.

What is the X12 equivalent?

The X12 832 price/sales catalog.

How do I parse and generate EANCOM PRICAT files in .NET?

In .NET, install EdiFabric and EdiFabric.Templates.Edifact, read the file with EdifactReader into TSPRICAT objects and write them back with EdifactWriter. From any other language, post the file to the ediFabric Cloud REST API, which returns the same structure as JSON and converts JSON back to EANCOM.
