  1. Trade Item Unit Descriptor Code List Data Migration

  2. Agenda Brief History – Why change Old and new process and applicable attributes Transition process Demonstrate process on specific examples

  3. Trade Item Unit Descriptor Codes Trade Item Unit Descriptors TIUD is used to describe the GTIN hierarchy level. Change Purpose: • simplify the unit descriptor code list • communication of which item level is display ready • removal of unnecessary dependencies. The old unit descriptor descriptions/definitions were used to indicate that item is: display or it contains several unique GTINs. When retailer got DS and item had multiple children there was no way for them to know if it was display. It was possible that manufacturers had to use DS only because it had multiple children.

  4. Inconsistencies in Assignment of Unit Descriptors Different manufacturers were assigning different unit descriptors fro the same product packaging level Manufacturer #1 • MX Manufacturer #2 • DS Retailers could not consistently process information provided Due to large percentage of new products available as display it is critical to assure consistency

  5. Trade Item Unit Descriptor Codes New Process Simplification of the code list • MX, DS, AP were removed Removal of unnecessary dependencies Number of unique children and if the item is display was removed from unit descriptor definitions. Communication of which item level is display • New attribute – displayTypeCode – indicates if item is display • Allows to communicate type of display number of unique next lower level items quantityOfChildren- indicates the number of unique next lower level items It communicates if item has several unique GTINs so there is no need to use DS or MX to differentiate from standard CA and PL.

  6. DISPLAY/SHIPPER, MIXED MODULE The new process CASE - Standard shipping unit or shipping unit that is display No limitation on number of unique children

  7. Trade Item Unit Descriptor Codes

  8. Communication if item is display If item is display - new attribute – DisplayTypeCode This attribute clearly communicates if item is display and type of display

  9. Display Attributes and Their Use IsTradeItamADisplayUnit – An indicator whether a trade item is or could be used as a display unit. A display unit is intended to be shipped to a store without being split at a distribution centreand is intended to be displayed in a retail store either on a shelf or on the shop floor. DisplayTypeCode - A code determining the type of display for a trade item Validation rule: If IsTradeItamADisplayUnit = True then DisplayTypeCode is required hasDisplayReadyPackaging (This attribute is referring to type of packaging that can be easily used for replenishment - easy to identify, easy to open, can easily be put onto the shelf and disposed of, allowing an optimization of shelf replenishment and enhanced visibility) Trade Item has Display Ready Packaging (also referred to as Shelf Ready Packaging or Retail Ready Packaging). Display Ready Packaging can be exhibited on the floor, a shelf or other location. It may or may not require some modification e.g. to raise a flap.

  10. Communication if item has multiple lower level GTINs quantityOfChildren Indicates the number of unique next lower level trade items contained in a complex trade item. A complex trade item can contain at least 2 different GTINs. This attribute communicates if item has several unique GTINs so there is no need to use DS or MX to differentiate from CA and PL.

  11. Transition to New Process What code from the Trade Item Unit Descriptor Code List can I now use and what additional data should be populated? If Old UD = MX then New UD = PL (in most cases) If Old UD = DS then New UD = CA (in most cases) If Old UD = MX or DS then If quantityOfChildren = 1 then you need to use DisplayTypeCode If quantityOfChildren > 1 then you might need to use DisplayTypeCode If the item is display then use DisplayTypeCodeattribute

  12. PACK_OR_INNER-PACK, PREPACK, PREPACK_ASSORTMENT, SETPACK The current TI Guidelines list only (AP) Assorted Pack/Setpack and (PK) Pack / Innerpack Definitions for PREPACK, PREPACK_ASSORTMENT, SETPACK were very similar and confusing: Contains multiple components, each of which represents a unique consumer unit item by color and size PREPACK_ASSORTMENT - AP and Pack / Innerpack PK The only difference between both definitions is single vs. multiple instances of unique GTINs.

  13. PREPACK_ASSORTMENT - AP and Pack / Innerpack PK The new process Combine PK, AP into one – PK PK - may be a logistical or consumer unit between a case and each. May or may not be bar-coded. May contain a single or multiple instances of a lower level GTIN that are typically bar-coded. quantityOfChildren - indicates the number of unique next lower level trade items contained in a complex trade item. A complex trade item can contain at least 2 different GTINs. It clearly communicates if item has several unique GTINs so there is no need to use PK vs. AP. DisplayTypeCodeattribute also applies Transition Change all AP codes to PK
