PIPs
RosettaNet Partner Interface Processes® (PIPs®) define business processes between trading partners.
PIPs fit into seven Clusters, or groups of core business processes, that represent the backbone of the trading network. Each Cluster is broken down into Segments - cross-enterprise processes involving more than one type of trading partner. Within each Segment are individual PIPs.
PIPs are specialized system-to-system XML-based dialogs. Each PIP specification includes a business document with the vocabulary, and a business process with the choreography of the message dialog.
To access PIP specifications, click on a Cluster name below to view its Segments, select a Segment for a listing of the PIPs it contains, and click on a PIP to download a version.
Information on published PIPs is available to everyone, while information on PIPs that are being developed is only available to RosettaNet partners when they are logged in.
