The GS1 Business Message Standard (BMS) packets are posted on the GS1 website. Each BMS packet contains a set of documents per business message. Users need to download all of those documents to implement a given message. These documents include:
- BMS Introduction – a PDF file explaining what a BMS is and what it contains
- BMS document – specification of one or more business messages. Users must refer to this document when implementing the GS1 XML standards, since the XML schemas do not contain all the necessary definitions, due to the syntax limitations (e.g. dependencies).
- Schemas folder , with the following content:
GS1 folder – contains two subfolders:
- eCom – includes one schema defining the eCom Common library - these are components that can be reused in any GS1 EDI business document - and a schema (or schemas) defining the business document structures
- shared – includes one schema defining the Shared Common library - these are components that can be reused in any GS1 EDI or GDSN business document
sbdh folder – contains the Standard Business Document Header schemas
- Instance file folder - contains at least one (out of many possible) sample XML file of the messages.
- HTML Sample folder - contains the HTML representation of the sample XML file from the Instance File folder.
