ArticleSubscriptions are used to automatically provide the Trading Partner with PRICAT data when a change is made in the supplier article pool (article changed, article added, article prices changed).

From this job step, EAN's are selected from the ArticleDetail table of the eBiss database using TradeItemSelectorDirectSql. These selected EAN's are then partner specific (because of optional price lines) checked against the supplier article pool and converted into an EDIFACT PRICAT in further transformation steps.
