rhe National Institute of Standards and Technology was established in 1988 by Congress to "assist industry in the development of technology . . . needed to improve product quality, to modernize manufacturing processes,

to ensure product reliability . . . and to facilitate rapid commercialization ... of products based on new scientific

discoveries."

NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's

competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One

of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of

measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering,

manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal

Government.

As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and

applied research in the physical sciences and engineering, and develops measurement techniques, test methods, standards, and related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and

advanced technologies. NIST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303.

Major technical operating units and their principal activities are listed below. For more information contact the

Publications and Program Inquiries Desk, 301-975-3058.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s Information Technology Laboratory (ITL)

develops standards and guidelines, provides technical assistance, and conducts research for computers

and resources. As part of the overall federal effort to establish a single face to industry for conducting

electronic commerce, ITL has been designated as the organization responsible for coordinating the

development of Federal Implementation Conventions (ICs) for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). ICs are

defined by functional-area experts who create and select options from standard EDI Transaction Sets to

yield the implementations to be used for practical EDI. These ICs are made available to federal agencies

and industry by electronic means and this Special Publication Series.

846 Inventory Inquiry/Advice

Functional Group ID=

Introduction:

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Inventory

Inquiry/Advice Transaction Set (846) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

environment. The transaction set can be used in the following ways: (1) for a seller of goods and services to provide

inventory information to a prospective purchaser, with no obligation to the purchaser to acquire these goods or

services; (2) for a representative of a seller of goods and services to supply inventory information to that seller; (3)

for one location to supply another location with inventory information; and (4) for an inquiry as to the availability of

inventory with no obligation on the seller of goods and services to reserve that inventory.

Notes:

/. Organizations use this transaction set to inquire about material availabilityfor support of contingency

operations, specialprojects, or other operational requirements. Integrated Material Managers (IMMs)/lnventory

Control Points (ICPs) use this transaction set to respond to material availability inquiries.

2. Use a single occurrence ofthis transaction set to exchange transactions between a single inquiring

organization and a single or multiple IMMs/ICPs, or between a single IMM/ICP and a single or multiple

inquiring organizations. Use one occurrence ofthis transaction set to transmit a single or multiple transactions.

3. Users operating under the Defense Logistics Management System (DLMS) must reference the Unit ofIssue

and Purchase Unit Conversion Table which can befound on the National Institute ofStandards and Technology

(NIST) World Wide Web site.

NISTTechnical Publications

Periodical

Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology—Reports NIST research

and development in those disciplines of the physical and engineering sciences in which the Institute is active. These include physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and computer sciences. Papers cover a broad range of subjects, with major emphasis on measurement methodology and the basic technology

underlying standardization. Also included from time to time are survey articles on topics closely related to the Institute's technical and scientific programs. Issued six times a year.

Nonperiodicals

Monographs—Major contributions to the technical literature on various subjects related to the

Institute's scientific and technical activities. Handbooks—Recommended codes of engineering and industrial practice (including safety codes) developed in cooperation with interested industries, professional organizations, and regulatory bodies.

Special Publications—Include proceedings of conferences sponsored by NIST, NIST annual reports, and

other sp)ecial publications appropriate to this grouping such as wall charts, pocket cards, and bibliographies.

National Standard Reference Data Series—Provides quantitative data on the physical and chemical

properties of materials, compiled from the world's literature and critically evaluated. Developed under a worldwide program coordinated by NIST under the authority of the National Standard Data Act (Public

Law 90-396). NOTE: The Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data (JPCRD) is published

bimonthly for NIST by the American Chemical Society (ACS) and the American Instimte of Physics (AIP).

Subscriptions, reprints, and supplements are available from ACS, 1155 Sixteenth St., NW, Washington, DC

20056.

Building Science Series—Disseminates technical information developed at the Institute on building

materials, components, systems, and whole structures. The series presents research results, test methods, and

performance criteria related to the structural and environmental functions and the durability and safety

characteristics of building elements and systems.

Technical Notes—Studies or reports which are complete in themselves but restrictive in their treatment of

a subject. Analogous to monographs but not so comprehensive in scope or definitive in treatment of the

subject area. Often serve as a vehicle for final reports of work performed at NIST under the sponsorship of

other government agencies.

Voluntary Product Standards—Developed under procedures published by the Department of Commerce

in Part 10, Title 15, of the Code of Federal Regulations. The standards establish nationally recognized

requirements for products, and provide all concerned interests with a basis for common understanding of

the characteristics of the products. NIST administers this program in support of the efforts of private-sector

standardizing organizations.

Order the following NIST publications—FIPS and NISTIRs—from the National Technical Information

Service, Springfield, VA 22161.

Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUB)—Publications in this series

collectively constitute the Federal Information Processing Standards Register. The Register serves as the

official source of information in the Federal Government regarding standards issued by NIST pursuant to the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 as amended, Public Law 89-306 (79 Stat. 1127), and as implemented by Executive Order 11717 (38 FR 12315, dated May 11, 1973) and Part 6 of

Title 15 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations).

NIST Interagency or Internal Reports (NISTIR)—^The series includes interim or final reports on work

performed by NIST for outside sponsors (both government and nongovernment). In general, initial distribution is handled by the sponsor; public distribution is handled by sales through the National Technical

Information Service, Springfield, \A 22161, in hard copy, electronic media, or microfiche form. NISTIR's

may also report results of NIST projects of transitory or limited interest, including those that will be

published subsequently in more comprehensive form.
