Global Standards. The Basics

Transcription

1 Global Standards The Basics

2 Global Standards What are they? Why are they important? Global Standards and the Ace Vendor Identifiers Attributes

3 What? An attempt to make the collection of information the same everywhere Standardized item data Same data Same formats Same rules 5 lbs, 5 pounds, 5.00 lb, etc Required, decimal, 10 digits

4 Why? Single version of truth Use and re-use data Consistent experience for everyone

5 Global Standards & the Ace Vendor PCM Proprietary data collection Standardized data collection

6 GLN v Ace Vendor Number Both identify WHO data is coming from GLN 13-digit Assigned by GS1; contains company prefix Can be used by any Trading Partner for identification Ace Vendor Number 5-digit Assigned by Ace Only meaningful to Ace

7 GLN Global Location Number Identifies physical locations and legal entities GS1 Company Prefix Location Reference Check Digit May be asked for by other Trading Partners Ace NOT using today

8 GTIN v Manufacturer Part Number Both identify an item uniquely GTIN 14-digit Assigned by vendor; standard structure Can be provided to multiple Trading Partners Manufacturer Part Number varies Assigned by vendor; no standardization Can be provided to multiple Trading Partners

9 GTIN Global Trade Item Number Derived from existing EAN/UCC codes Applied to: Eaches (standalone items, retail selling units, consumer units) Orderable Units Assortments Inner Packs Cases Pallets

10 Eaches Should have UPC/EAN Number Structure: Company Prefix GS1 assigned Check digit mathematical calculation Unique item number vendor assigned

11 UPC GTIN +

12 Higher Level Packaging Should have an I2of5 or SCC-14 Structure: Company Prefix GS1 assigned Check digit mathematical calculation Packaging indicator Unique item number vendor assigned

13 I2of5 = GTIN

14 GTINs and Ace Ace currently captures a UPC/EAN on eaches Ace captures the GTIN for higher levels Ace vendors can create GTINs for eaches derived from UPC/EAN number Ace vendors can establish correct higher level GTINs using packaging indicator and check digit

15 Descriptive Fields Applications within Vendors.com captures additional data Provides additional description Data can rely on standards as well

16 Category Ace PCM Three level categorization structure New items must be created using the appropriate Level 3 template Feature Selling Attributes Proprietary

17 Dimensions - PCM Ace captures linear and weight dimensions

18 Dimensions - PCM Ace captures linear and weight dimensions

19 Dimensions - Standard Global Standards capture: Height Width Depth Clear definitions of each establish consistent use Variation in dimensions at EACH level at higher level

20 Dimensions Consumer Units 1. Determine Default Front of Consumer Unit Default Front: the side with the largest surface area that is used by the manufacturer to sell the product to the consumer

21 Dimensions Consumer Units 2. Determine H x W x D (L) while facing the Default Front a) Height base to the top b) Width left to right c) Depth (Length) Front to back 3. Visit: ckage_measurement_rules.pdf for more information and special scenarios

22 Dimensions Orderable Units 1. Determine Natural Base of the Orderable Unit Natural Base: the natural underside of the packaged item pre-shipment (e.g. case). The Natural Base is a vendor-defined surface.

23 Dimensions Orderable Units 2. Determine H x W x D(L) on its Natural Base a) Height The measure of the trade item from the natural base to the top b) Width The shorter side of the natural base of the trade item c) Depth (Length) The longer side of the natural base of the trade item

24 Orderable Units Include Case Packs Display Boxes Tray Packs Buckets and Pails Pallets

25 Dimensions Summary Ace captures all levels of dimension information in PCM Chargebacks assessed Store dimension data internally using global standards

26 Standards Summary Begin capturing item data according to Standards Improves data quality Prepares for future Use and re-use data
