Use for a complete record issued earlier than approximately six months before publication |
| 02 |

| 04 |
Update (partial) |
In ONIX 3.0 or later only, use when sending a ‘block update’ record. A block update implies using the supplied block(s) to update the existing record for the product, replacing only the blocks included in the block update, and leaving other blocks unchanged – for example, replacing old information from Blocks 4 and 6 with the newly-received data while retaining information from Blocks 1–3, 5 and 7–8 untouched. In previous ONIX releases, and for ONIX 3.0 or later using other notification types, updating is by replacing the complete record with the newly-received data |
| 05 |
Delete |
Use when sending an instruction to delete a record which was previously issued. Note that a Delete instruction should NOT be used when a product is cancelled, put out of print, or otherwise withdrawn from sale: this should be handled as a change of Publishing status, leaving the receiver to decide whether to retain or delete the record. A Delete instruction is used ONLY when there is a particular reason to withdraw a record completely, eg because it was issued in error |
