Messaging Structures and Syntaxes

The Agency has developed a standardised set of eProcurement messages. These structures leverage both GS1's global eMessaging standard GS1 XML, and the Australian Standard AS 5023.

The Agency's eProcurement suite of messages consists of:

Purchase Order

Despatch Advice
Invoice
Settlement Advice

The key benefits to be derived from eProcurement include:

Interoperability between suppliers and purchasers
Right Product – Right Patient – Right Time and Right Place
Increased transactional accuracy
Reduced order errors
Improved compliance
Improved payment times
Timely information for improved purchasing and inventory management
