2 Summary GS1 Canada is continually enhancing ECCnet Registry based on community business requirements and feedback from our users. This document outlines new or revised attributes, validations and functionalities that are available within ECCnet Registry Release With this release, all ECCnet Registry users have access to the following: Revised Pharmaceutical Attributes Revised GDSN Mapping Rule Attributes for Omni-Channel Synchronizing Data Using EDI Standard for Pharmacy and Medical Devices Revised Pharmaceutical Attributes Revised Attributes This change is identified as non-backwards-compatible. Action is required when updating an existing GTIN after ECCnet Registry 10.8 is released. You must change existing values to comply with the new attribute options. An attempt to save an updated GTIN without changing these values will result in an error message. The GTIN will be considered to be non-compliant until these values are revised. To ensure continuous alignment with GS1 Global Data Standards, the following pharmaceutical attributes are updated: Temperature Control Range In previous versions, this range was a selected value. When you selected Other, you were required to specify the following: Temperature Control Range Other Minimum; Maximum; and UOM attributes. In version 10.8, Temperature Control Range attribute has been removed. The following attributes are renamed: Minimum Maximum UOM Renamed as Temperature Control Minimum Temperature Control Maximum Temperature Control UOM 2 Copyright 2015 GS1 Canada

Validation is performed to ensure that where Temperature Control Maximum is provided, Temperature Control Minimum is also provided. Similarly, where Temperature Control Minimum is provided, Temperature Control Maximum must also be provided. As is the case with all UOM attributes, Temperature Control UOM must be provided whenever Temperature Control Maximum and Temperature Control Minimum are provided. ACTION: The Temp Control Range attribute has been removed, along with values associated with it.

Each missing mandatory allergen value is given the value No. Attributes for Omni-Channel For Omni-Channel application of product data we are building on the existing framework of ECCnet allowing data providers to load information using ECCnet ProSYNC interface and File Upload.
