GS1 XML provides a logical sequence of messages used in business practice. Business partners agree together on messages suitable for their needs.

The GS1 XML can be divided into the following categories:

1. Trade messages

Master data alignment - provides the ability to align item master data in a peer to peer environment.
Order messages - supporting the ordering process from a proposed order, subsequent changes and the eventual order confirmation (relevant quantities, dates, location of delivery, etc.).
Deliver messages – supporting the announcement of despatched delivery, receipt of goods, consumption report required in consignment stock scenarios and inventory status.
Payment messages – supporting payment of the goods supplied. The buyer can automatically reconcile the suppliers invoice using the product receipt information.

2. Logistics messages

Transport planning and execution.
Warehousing inbound and outbound control, as well as warehousing inventory control.

3. Product Recall messages - a set of messages supporting the process of removing from the supply chain specific products (traceable items) which may pose a health and safety risk to consumers.

4. Artwork Content messages - allows sending the product’s artwork content that appears on a package (e.g. box, label, bag) or related materials (e.g.printed coupons).

5. Application level message - a message that allows the message recipient to confirm that he received the message and whether he was able to process it without error.
