97 “Implementation of this Item standard requires adherence to the business rules
98 contained in this document in addition to adherence to the technical schema as it is
99 designed. In order to enable reusability and commonality across the EAN.UCC
100 Business Message Standards, a common library has been developed to support the
101 technical implementation of the EAN.UCC standards into XML schemas resulting in
102 standardized data types and field sizes. As a result, the schema will accommodate
103 the data types and field sizes as defined in this standard, however, the schema does
104 not enforce any specific field sizes as defined by the business requirements.”
105
106
107
108 1.0 Business Opportunity:
109 Item is the second message in the trade process following the Party message. Item
110 elements are the mandatory attributes needed to align the item information between
111 trading partners. These attributes in combination ensure the uniqueness of the data
112 set associated with a GTIN. The use, definition, and relevance of these attributes is
113 the same for ALL EAN.UCC industries. Following the Item attributes is an extension
114 of cross industry. These are data attributes that may be required in conducting
115 commerce between partners for the trade of an item or service. These attributes are
116 relevant to more than one industry. The definition of these attributes must be the
117 same for all industries.
118
119 1.1 Problem Statement:
120 Item and the extension of the cross industry data processes include communicating
121 the data elements necessary to support the core business requirements in the global
122 trading environment. The Party and Item process are mandatory in the completion of
123 the price, purchase order, invoice, etc. messages that follow in the global trade
124 process.
125
126 1.2 Audience:
127 The audience of the standards would be any participant in the global supply chain.
128 This would include retailers, manufacturers, service providers and other third parties.

182 2.0 Process View – General Requirements:
183
184 The buyer and seller must make contact and set up a business relationship before
185 trade can proceed. This is a prerequisite to all of the other steps. This initial contact
186 can be made in many different ways. Following the establishment of the trading
187 agreement the parties must exchange their basic business data such as trading
188 partner names, addresses, locations, item attributes, price lists, contracts and trading
189 partner agreements. Specifically, the Core Item message follows the Core Party
190 message in the data alignment process. This process creates a common
191 understanding between the trading parties which can be used as a resource
192 throughout the trading process.
193
194 2.1 Use Case Scenario:
195 There is only one scenario in the Item data communication process as described in
196 problem statement of section 1.1. Item data alignment is the process of
197 communicating the core item and cross industry data elements following the
198 establishment of a business relationship between suppier, buyer or third party.

202 2.1.1 Business Opportunity/Problem Statement
203 The objective of this document is to elaborate the Data Synchronization Data Model
204 for Trade Item (hereafter referred to as ‘Data Sync Trade Item’) business process in
205 enough detail to support the construction of standards. It is assumed that the
206 players, both seller and buyer, have established a business understanding of the
207 trading partner relationship. The challenge is to provide the core elements necessary
208 to complete all supply chain processes without duplicates.
209
210 2.1.2 Actors
211 The two general players in the Data Sync Trade Item business process are the
212 "seller" and the "buyer". Depending on the specific nature of the relationship other
213 players may have a role, such as a Third Party. The graphic flow below pictures the
214 core sequence of messages, and is expanded to account for additional scenarios.

Seller Manufacturer or supplier of the item. X X
Buyer Retailer or distributor of the item X X
Third Party Other parties that somehow influence the X X X
item and may include creation, distribution,
publication, and/or maintenance of the item.
217
218 2.1.3 Preconditions
219 The Data Sync Trade Item business process begins when the parties decide to do
220 business together. The next step is for the buyer to communicate the Party
221 organizational information to the seller. The seller provides his Party organizational
222 information to buyer. Other data alignment follows such as item and price attributes.
223
224 2.1.4 Process Start
225 The start-state of the Data Sync Trade Item business process begins during the
226 initial discussions between the trading partners and the need to exchange item
227 information.
228
229 2.1.5 Process End
230 Once the Data Sync Trade Item business message has been accepted by both the
231 seller and buyer, then data alignment has been achieved. This process can be an
232 ongoing process as item business information changes or new parties are added.
233 The process of trading goods and services can now occur.
234
235 2.1.6 Post Conditions
236 The end-state of the Data Sync Trade Item business process occurs when the
237 parties have achieved Party and Item data alignment.

245 The Data Sync Trade Item messages include the item’s unique identification,
246 descriptions, and characteristics.

FOR TRADE ITEM
(DATA DEFINITION)
247
248 3.1 Definition of Conditions
249 To help with the implementation of this data model, several key definitions are listed
250 below.
251
252 Master Data/Transactional Data –
253
254 • Master data is considered to be that set of data that describes the
255 specifications and structure of each item and party involved in the supply
256 chain processes. The uniqueness of the data associated with a trade item is
257 given only by the GTIN. This data is static, not dependent on a transaction.
258
259 • Transactional data is that set of data that can only be determined during a
260 business transaction, i.e., plan, sell, buy, and deliver cycle. (E.g. actual
261 amount of cases delivered).
262
263 • NOTE – this data model only includes master data
264
265 Master Data Alignment
266 • Master Data Alignment is the process of timely distribution of accurate Master
267 Data from one partner to others and the correct use of this data. Such
268 synchronization and use of Master Data leads to more accurate business
269 transactions and therefore reinforces the efficiency of the supply chain
270 operations.
271 • Successful Master Data Alignment is achieved via the use of EAN.UCC
272 coding specifications throughout the supply chain, communication of all
273 changes and new information between trading partners and use of the
274 information exchanged in subsequent transactions.
275 • Master Data Alignment relies on EAN.UCC specifications concerning the
276 Unique Identification of Items, GTIN and Parties GLN.
277
278 Core attributes:
279 • An attribute whose definition is common across all Industries
280 • Core attributes are common across all geographies. I.e. ALL Target Markets
281 • These attributes do not necessary need to be maintained by the Registry.
282 • Core attributes CANNOT be relationship dependant. They are trading partner
283 neutral only
284
285 Extension attributes:
286 • An extension is an attribute that is relevant to one or more industries (not all
287 EAN.UCC Industries)
288 • The definition of an extension attribute is common to all Industries who use
289 the attribute.
290 • Each Industry is responsible for determining the extension attributes that are
291 relevant to their Industry.
292 • New extension attributes may be submitted/requested for a specific Industry
293 as necessary.

FOR TRADE ITEM
(DATA DEFINITION)
294 • The conditions of extension attributes can vary by each industry. E.g.
295 Mandatory/Optional, Global/Local, Trading Partner Neutral/Relationship
296 Dependent, and Common to all Hierarchy levels.
297 • Industry user groups should be developed in concert with the EAN.UCC
298 GSMP Process, to determine their relevant extension attributes and the
299 conditions associated with those attributes.
300 • Process user groups such as CPFR and local (target market) extensions.
301
302 Trading Partner Neutral/Trading Partner Dependent
303
304 Values for an attribute can vary depending on the relationship with the party
305 receiving the data. The Trading Partner Neutral/Trading Partner Dependent
306 status indicates this rule.
307
308 • The condition Trading Partner Neutral is applied to any attribute whose value
309 is independent on a buyer and seller relationship. An attribute, which has the
310 condition Trading Partner Neutral, can have only one set of values .
311
312 • The condition Trading Partner Dependent is applied to any attribute whose
313 value is dependent on a buyer and seller relationship. An attribute, which has
314 the condition Trading Partner Dependent, can have only one set of values per
315 GLN of Party Receiving Data. These are attributes whose value is dependent
316 on a specific point-to-point agreement between a buyer and a seller.
317
318 An attribute which has the condition Trading Partner Neutral & Trading
319 Partner Dependent, can have only one set of values for the Trading Partner
320 Neutral value AND one set of values per GLN of Party Receiving Data
321
322
323 Multiple Values allowed:
324
325 This condition is used to indicate that multiple values can be submitted for a
326 trade item.
327
328 E.g. multiple types of packaging on a trade item e.g. plastic, cardboard etc
329
330 Where there is a need to express multiple measures, these are handled through
331 indicating the attribute type as ‘Measurement’. Both the value and UOM can be
332 repeated, and must be used together. See section 4.6 on Unit of Measure in the
333 implementation consideration and concerns.
334
335 Where there is a need to express multiple language versions, these are handled
336 through indicating the attribute type as ‘Text Description’. See section 4.4 on
337 Language in the implementation consideration and concerns.
338
339
340 Market Group
341 • A Market Group is used to identify a proprietary group of data recipients. It is
342 normally determined by the information provider although it can also be

FOR TRADE ITEM
(DATA DEFINITION)
343 created by buyers and third parties. This group is used and developed by the
344 information provider to control del publication of data to a specific group of
345 customers. This should not be confused with Target Market.
346
347 Target Market Country Code
348 • The purpose of the target market country code is to organize master data to
349 meet the requirements of specific geographies
350
351 • The purpose of this field is to explain where a manufacturer is intending to
352 sell its product(s) to a buyer. It does not control where the buyer can resell
353 the product (s) to the end consumer.
354
355 • It is the country, (the geopolitical area) where the product is to be sold and
356 available for publication in an Item Catalog.
357
358 • Target Market Country Code in relationship to Master Data, can be Trading
359 Partner Neutral only. A Target Market Country Code is not used to control
360 Distribution or Consumer Market Area geographies. E.g. product available for
361 shipment from a single Distribution Center.
362
363
364 Target Market Sub-Country Code
365 • A sub-country code level used to address/comply with a “law making”
366 requirement associated with a country.
367 • The number of sub-country codes will vary by each country. These will match
368 with the legislation requirements of each country. (Local bottle deposit tax
369 laws, State and country taxes)
370 • Not all countries will have sub-country codes.
371 • A sub-country code must be associated with a Target Market Country Code.
372 It cannot stand-alone.
373
374 Global/Global-Local/Local
375 • All attributes are impacted by their geo-political relevance. This condition can
376 be used by information providers as they build data models. With this
377 information, they can limit the attributes communicated to those relevant for
378 that geography.
379 • A global attribute indicates that the attribute is relevant for business cases
380 around the world, and can only have a single value throughout the world.
381 (E.g. GTIN)
382
383 • A global/local attribute indicates that the field is relevant for business cases
384 around the world, that its definition is the same around the world, but may
385 have a different value depending on the geography. (E.g. VAT tax values,
386 1.00 in France, 1.05 in Belgium)
387
388 • A local attribute is only relevant in certain geographical areas, and the values
389 may change based on where the product is offered for sale. (E.g. green dot –
390 only relevant in certain European countries)
391

FOR TRADE ITEM
(DATA DEFINITION)
392 How does the Global/Global-Local/Local condition, and Target Market value
393 interact to affect attribute values?
394
395 An attribute, which has the condition ‘Global’, can have only one global value (except
396 where there are multiple values allowed).
397
398 An attribute which has the condition Global / Local can have one value per Target
399 Market specified (except where there are multiple values allowed). A Global/Local
400 attribute indicates that the field is relevant for business cases around the world, that
401 its definition is the same around the world, but may have a different value depending
402 on the geography. (E.g. the attribute - VAT tax values are relevant globally, but the
403 actual value, 1.00 in France, 1.05 in Belgium varies by country)
404 As long as the attribute values apply consistently to the GTIN, GLN, TM combination

406
407 Example:
408
409 GTINa + GLNa + TMa + b, = Ohio, Indiana. Start availability date = January 1,
410 2003
411 Target Market can be repeated where the values for the attribute are the same
412 e.g. start availability date is the same for the GTIN + GLN + TM combination data
413 set.
414
415 GTINa + GLNa + TMc = Kentucky. Start availability date = January 15, 2003

452 Trade Item
453 • A Trade Item is any product or service upon which there is a need to retrieve
454 pre-defined information and that may be priced, ordered or invoiced at any
455 point in any supply chain. The term “trade item” is not to be confused with the
456 legacy term “traded item” (now referred to within the General EAN.UCC
457 Specifications as ‘standard trade item group’ which can mean a specific
458 product containment level, which is also called case. “Trade item” can
459 represent any level of product containment, and also can represent a service.
460
461 In addition, the supply chain is any point from the inception of the product
462 through the final consumption and disposal/reuse/recycling/return of that
463 trade item. Reference General EAN.UCC Specifications for definitions of the
464 term ‘trade item’, ‘retail consumer trade item’, and ‘standard trade item
465 grouping’.
466
467 Party
468 • A Party (or) Location is any legal, functional or physical entity involved at any
469 point in any supply chain and upon which there is a need to retrieve pre-
470 defined information.
471
472 Product Hierarchy Reference Level
473 This condition is used to indicate at what level of the product hierarchy each
474 attribute is relevant. For some attributes, business requirements are such that the
475 attribute only needs to be provided at a specific level.
476
477 Example – “netContent” this field is only required at the consumer unit level.
478 For most attributes, a value must be entered for all attribute levels.
479
480 Common Value to all Product Hierarchy
481 Common value condition indicates when the value for the attribute is equal for all
482 levels of a hierarchy.
483
484 Example – “orderingLeadTime” is common across all levels of the product
485 hierarchy; common value = Yes
486
487 Example – “grossWeight” is not common from each to case to pallet;
488 Common value = No

603 GTINs is important when a next lower level GTIN is to be linked. The next
604 lower level GTIN must already exist, therefore the order of trade items to
605 be entered should be from lowest to highest e.g. consumer, then

1073 Size: 7
1074
1075 Definition: The Target Market Subdivision Code is the secondary code of
1076 the Target Market and must be a subdivision of a Target Market Country
1077 Code. The Target Market Subdivision Code describes the "geo-political
1078 subdivision of a country" where the trade item is available for sale, as
1079 determined by the information provider. For example, "State" in the US,
1080 "Land" in Germany, "Region" in France, or "Province" in Canada. Not all
1081 countries have subdivisions. This code is represented by the three-
1082 character ISO 3166-2 code. This Target Market Subdivision Code is a
1083 dependent attribute. It is important to note that the lack of the Target
1084 Market Subdivision code implies that the trade item is available in the
1085 entire target market country.
1086
1087 Examples: “
1088 “208-025” where “208” represents Denmark from the ISO 3166-1 and 025
1089 represents the Danish county of Roskilde from the ISO 3166-2.
1090 “554-BOP” where “554” represents New Zealand from the ISO 3166-1
1091 and “BOP’ represents the Bay of Plenty.
1092
1093 Business Rules: ISO 3166-2 format 3 digit numerical/3 character alpha
1094 which represents country and subcountry code; following AIDC
1095 guidelines. This information drives data synchronization rules linked to
1096 global/local, local status. This optional field helps further define trade item
1097 availability. The target market code consists of a country code and an
1098 optional subdivision code. A subdivision code must be used in tandem
1099 with a corresponding higher level country code. (e.g. Ohio with US).

5975 4.0 Implementation Considerations and Concerns

5976
5977 This section includes Best Practices and Examples explaining how to best use this data
5978 model. It also includes implementation guides for a variety of the more complicated
5979 issues encountered when designing the standards outlined by this document. It also
5980 provides an overal review of the basic precepts used when developing this data model.
5981
5982 Basic precepts of this data model:
5983
5984 a) This model was designed with the intent of providing all industries with a generic
5985 template with which to build their own data model. EAN.UCC currently has
5986 identified 23 different industries which participate in its standards development
5987 and application processes. While it is recognized that each industry has different
5988 needs, this model attempts to provide a flexible data model framework, which
5989 covers what is common accross industries and upon which these industries can
5990 append their own unique needs.
5991 b) The data model assumes a base level of business transactions and agreements
5992 between buyer and seller, which then lead to an exchange of information
5993 deemed to be necessary for conducting normal business transactions. This set of
5994 information is herein called a data dictionary.
5995 c) This model was developed with the understanding that there are three different
5996 types of attributes, as type relates to industry:
5997 a. Core – these attributes are absolutely necessary to facilitate the accurate
5998 sharing of data sets between parties of all industries. The combination of
5999 these five attributes guarantees the uniqueness of that data set. The
6000 definition and use of these attributes is common to all industries. In this
6001 data model, the five core attributes are: GTIN of the trade item, the GLN
6002 of the information provider, the target market in which this data set is
6003 valid, a EAN.UCC external classification value, and a system generated
6004 product description (see below)
6005 Product identification as a process is mandatory. A GTIN must be used.
6006 Party identification as a process is mandatory. A GLN must be used.
6007
6008 b. Extension – these attributes are shared among several industries. The
6009 definition for each attribute is agreed to by all industries. The
6010 determination of whether these attributes are mandatory or optional is
6011 made based on the business need of each industry. It is important to
6012 share the responsibility for maintenance of these attributes and to
6013 maintain a common definition across industries since the buyer receiving
6014 data may receive it from multiple industries. Where industries use an
6015 attribute in different ways, a new attribute must be developed. (e.g. size)
6016 In addition to mandatory/optional, when industries build their own data
6017 models from this generic base, they may also choose to change the other
6018 conditions attached to each attribute as it is relevant to their industry.
6019
6020 c. Industry specific extension – these attributes are such that they are only
6021 relevant to one industry. The definition of these values is determined by
6022 this industry. If a buyer or seller does not deal in this trade item class, it is
6023 not expected that they build attributes related to this industry into their

FOR TRADE ITEM
(DATA DEFINITION)
6024 data model. (e.g. degree of wort is specifically relevant to the beer
6025 industry)
6026
6027 Application notes – The complete data model for an industry is made up of a
6028 combination of these three types of attributes. It is expected that attributes may
6029 be added or deleted from the model in the future.Also, as more industries
6030 become involved in the EAN.UCC GSMP process, it is expected that more
6031 industry specific extensions will be created.
6032
6033 In most cases, the agreement reached by the two parties that will be
6034 communicating data will include only a portion of the data model. This is because
6035 this model is designed to capture all possible business needs of the industry. In
6036 many cases, the buyer will only require a subset of these attributes in order to
6037 conduct business in the manner that they are accustomed.

6046 Key data attributes
6047
6048 This data model works off a basic principle. The entire set of data attributes assigned to
6049 a GTIN may vary depending on who provides the information, and in which target market
6050 the data is relevant.
6051
6052 Within the global data synchronization environment, the combination of three key
6053 attributes, GLN of information provider, GTIN of the trade item, and the Target Market
6054 identifies a unique set of values for the trade items’ attributes. This combination can also
6055 affect which attributes are communicated. The values of attributes can vary for a GTIN
6056 when GLN of information provider or Target market are changed.
6057
6058 Example – “orderingLeadTime” may vary depending on target market. (US delivery
6059 within 3 days, delivery within Belgium is less than 1 day)
6060 Example – “cataloguePrice” may vary depending on the information provider (catalogue
6061 price equals $1.00 from manufacturer, but is $1.05 in the information set communicated
6062 by a distributor)
6063
6064 All variation must be compliant with GTIN allocation rules per the General EAN.UCC
6065 Specifications. Variations that do not comply will require a new GTIN.
6066
6067 As stated above, in addition possible variations in values for the same attribute, the list
6068 of attributes communicated may change based on these three keys. Changes in the
6069 information provider can change the list of attributes associated with a GTIN.
6070 Example – Information provider A chooses to provide values for 50 attributes for a GTIN,
6071 while information provider B chooses to provide values for 100, seeing this as a
6072 competitive advantage.
6073
6074 The relevant target market can also affect the selection of attributes. Certain target
6075 markets will have legal requirements for some attributes, while other target markets will
6076 not.
6077
6078 Example – “dangerous goods” attributes are currently required in certain countries.
6079 Parties that do not operate in these countries will not be required to communicate these
6080 attributes to their customers.

6134 4.1 Product hierarchy
6135
6136 There has been a long running debate within the EAN.UCC item project team regarding
6137 the application of a principle which states that if information about a product hierarchy is
6138 to be communicated, it is required that a GTIN be allotted to that level and the
6139 information only be attached to that GTIN. At the time this document was being
6140 finalized, this debate was still taking place. It is the intent of the Item group to present to
6141 the Align Data BRG a paper describing the current industry practices as they relate to
6142 hierarchy with the proper industry endorsement and representation .
6143
6144 This model is designed in conjunction with a widely accepted view of product
6145 containment hierarchy found in the commercial products industries. Attached is a chart
6146 describing the currently accepted definitions and guidelines for this hierarchy
6147
6148 GTIN Hierarchy
6149
6150 Preface
6151 • Eight discreet “levels” of GTIN Hierarchy have been identified.

FOR TRADE ITEM
(DATA DEFINITION)
6152 • “tradeItemUnitDescriptor has been used as the field to describe the GTIN
6153 hierarchy level.
6154
6155 • Implementation with any level of automation will require the programs to map
6156 discreetly from each of these GTIN hierarchy layers. Each attribute has the
6157 potential for a different meaning depending on which layer it’s attached to. Each
6158 attribute may also vary in cardinality or condition depending on the ‘product type
6159 name’ of the GTIN.
6160 • The following guidelines have been created, debated, practiced, reviewed, and
6161 endorsed by the UCCnet community over the last 3 years. The Guidelines Task
6162 Group, represented by over 60 individuals and participating companies has
6163 endorsed these Guidelines.
6164
6165 o (MX) Mixed Mod: A “mixed mod” or “display ready pallet” that is not the
6166 normal ‘turn’ for ordering. May NOT have any parents. May have children
6167 (DS, CA, PK, EA) in multiple instances. Orderable: True / ConsumerUnit:
6168 False.
6169
6170 o (PL) Pallet: A pallet of turn product. May NOT have any parents. May have
6171 children (DS, CA, PK, EA) in a single instance. Orderable: True or False /
6172 ConsumerUnit: False.
6173
6174 o (DS) Display / Shipper: A display, a shipper. May have a “PL” parent. May
6175 have (CA or EA) children in multiple instances. Orderable: True /
6176 ConsumerUnit: True or False.
6177
6178 o (CA) Case: The standard shipping unit level. May be contained in one or
6179 more (PL, MX, or DS). May contain children (PK or EA) in a single instance.
6180 Orderable: True or False / Consumable: True or False.
6181
6182 o (PK) Pack / Innerpack: A logistical unit between case and each. This may
6183 be a consumable innerpack (i.e. Carton of Cigarettes) or it may be simply a
6184 logistical pack (i.e. Dozens of toothbrushes). Multiple instances of a (EA)
6185 child are allowed. Multiple instances of (DS or CA) parents are allowed.
6186 Orderable: true or False / ConsumerUnit: True or False.
6187
6188 o (EA) Each: The lowest level of the item hierarchy intended or labeled for
6189 individual retail sale. May not have any children. May have multiple
6190 instances of (PK, CA, DS, PL, or MX) parents. Orderable:True or False /
6191 ConsumerUnit:True.
6192
6193 o Prepack/Assortment: Contains multiple components, each of which
6194 represents a unique consumer unit item by color and size. Includes
6195 “prepacks” and “setpacks.”
6196
6197 Prepack: or standard assortment of trade items, each different
6198 item within the prepack will be assigned a GTIN maintaining the
6199 one-to-one relationship between trade item/color ID/size ID and
6200 GTIN. Each of the component GTINs is scannable at the Point-of-
6201 Sale and may or may not be orderable separately outside of the

FOR TRADE ITEM
(DATA DEFINITION)
6202 prepack. In addition, a separate, unique GTIN is assigned to each

6203 orderable prepack. This GTIN is not scanned by the retailer at the
6204 Point-of-Sale. For example, the NRF size code for the orderable
6205 prepack GTIN will be assigned in the 90001-91999 range,
6206 reserved for prepacks and setpacks. A valid NRF color code will
6207 be assigned to the GTIN when all trade items are of the same
6208 color in the prepack; otherwise, the NRF color code 999- assorted
6209 is assigned. The 90001-91999 size code assignment denotes
6210 prepacks whether the prepack is assorted by size only, color only,
6211 or both size and color. Different prepacks of trade items are
6212 assigned different GTINs when either the component item or
6213 quantity contents of the prepacks are different.
6214
6215 Setpack: each different trade item within the setpack will be
6216 assigned a GTIN, maintaining the one-to-one relationship between
6217 trade item/color ID/size ID and the GTIN. The individual trade item
6218 GTIN must be scannable at the Point-of-Sale and may or may not
6219 be orderable separately outside the setpack(s). A separate and
6220 unique GTIN is assigned to each setpack. This GTIN is also
6221 scannable at Point-of-Sale. For example, the NRF size code for
6222 the orderable setpack GTIN will be assigned in the 90001-91999
6223 range, reserved for prepacks and setpacks. A valid NRF color
6224 code will be assigned to the setpack GTIN when all trade items
6225 are of the same color in the setpack, otherwise the NRF color
6226 code 999-assorted is assigned. Different setpacks are assigned
6227 different GTINs when either the trade item or quantity contents are
6228 different.
6229
6230 o Multipack: is a group of trade items (the same or different) that are
6231 intended to be sold as a single consumer unit at the Point-of-Sale (e.g., a
6232 three-pack of men's white T-shirts or a 12-piece set of glassware). A
6233 multipack is not intended to be broken apart and sold as individual trade
6234 items. A multipack is assigned a GTIN that is different from the GTIN that
6235 may be assigned to the individual trade items. Generally components of a
6236 multipack are not marked with individual trade item GTINs. Each different
6237 multipack of the same trade items (e.g., three-pack socks versus six-pack
6238 socks) must have a different GTIN assigned. Each different multipack
6239 GTIN must also have its own trade item/color ID/size ID.
6240
6241 Note: The hierarchy levels Pre-pack/Assortment and Multipack are not included in the
6242 next table, as the discussions of hierarchy were not finalized.

(DATA DEFINITION)
Item Containment:
Refer to Class Diagram for Trade Item in the UML section where item hierarchy is handled.
Item containment provides a method of identifying the contents of a GTIN that is a

packaging hierarchy rather than a consumer unit. This can occur multiple times depending
upon the number of levels in the hierarchy. All components of each potential level of
packaging must already be defined in order to be used in Item Containment. Each
level has to be identified with a product identifier and each level defines the
containment (GTIN) of the next level.
It is recommended that only GTINs be used in Item containment.
4.2 Product Classification

The attribute structure for classification included in this document reflects the learnings
from the work that the GCI Product Classification workgroup is conducting at this point in
time and applies to the Food, Beverage and Tobacco (grocery) sector. Potential
modifications to the codification structure may result in the inclusion in the Data Sync Trade
Item model of additional attributes coming from other industry sectors (e.g. General
Merchandise). These potential modifications will be considered after the EAN.UCC's final
agreement on a global classification schema is announced.
Global EAN.UCC product classification – Examples
At category level:
classificationCategoryCode:
10000222
classificationCategoryName:
Juice Drinks (Perishable)
classificationCategoryDefinition:
“Includes any products that can be described/observed as a perishable non
carbonated beverage, that has some fruit or vegetable juice content but contain
other ingredients such as water, sugar, colorings and flavorings.
These products have been treated or packaged in such a way as to extend their
consumable life.
Includes products that may be described as Nectar, Fruit Drink or Juice Drink and
available in single flavors such as carrot, tomato, orange, apple etc or they may be
blends of more than one such as orange & apricot, cranberry & raspberry etc.
Excludes products such as Frozen and Shelf Stable Juice Drinks, Juice, Syrups,
Juice Concentrate, Flavored Mixers, Mineral Water.”

N.B.: Only one possible attribute value per attribute type.
4.3 Product Orientation

Change Request (CR) 02-000102 was submitted to the EAN.UCC GSMP process and
relates to how to measure the physical dimension of a product. At the July 10, 2002
conference call of the Align BRG, this Change Request was reviewed and the BRG agreed
to forward to the Physical Technical Requirements Group (PTRG) for the definition of the
physical requirements. This work is being developed by a subgroup of PTRG and will go
through ballot cycles, which are estimated to conclude sometime in the first quarter of
2003. The work resulting from PTRG will go to the Align Data BRG which will determine the
impact of the output on the Item work.
Product orientation principles developed by the PTRG will affect the following attributes:
width, depth, and height.
4.4 Language (Reference Appendix 13 and Appendix 17)

EAN.UCC currently has the following classes related to Language.
Description Class: it contains two attributes, one is language and the other is text. Text
Description Class: it contains one or more Description Classes. It allows for multiple
combinations of language and text
Long Description Class: it contains two attributes, one is language and the other is long
text.
Long Text Description Class: it contains one or more Long Description Classes. It allows for
multiple combinations of language and longtext.
These classes allow users to fill in the language and the text. The language for the text is
identified using a two character code from the ISO 639 language code list.
4.5 Currency (Reference Appendix 12)

(DATA DEFINITION)
EAN.UCC currently has two classes related to Monetary Amount. One is Amount’ and the
other is ’MonetaryAmount’.
Monetary Amount allows for multiple currencies and value or Amount.

Amount allows for one currency and value.
These classes allow users to fill in the currency ISO Code and the value. The currency for
the value is identified using a code from the ISO4217 currency code list.
4.6 Unit of Measure (Reference Appendix 14)

The following describes how unit of measure is handled in the data model.
EAN.UCC currently has two classes related to measurement. One is 'Measurement class'
and the other is 'Measurement Value'.
Measurement allows for multiple Measurement Values.

Measurement Value allows for one Measurement Value.
These classes allow the users to fill in the unit of measure and the float (allows decimal
value).
Example: 100 degree Fahrenheit or 38 degree Celsius.
100°F is equal to: Unit Of Measure will be FAH and Float will be 100.00
38°C is equal to: Unit Of Measure will be CEL and Float will be 38.00
There was no need to create another attribute for unit of measure because it is fulfilled by
the use of the Measurement class because the Measurement class is reused.
There is multiple and numerous possible unit of measures. The EAN.UCC system refers to
the UN/Cefact #20 list for the possible unit of measure. The unit of measure is not broken
down into categories of UOM such as "time UOM, Weight UOM, dimensional UOM, or net
content UOM. Its a list of all the possible units of measure.
4.7 Product Description

Product Description is one of the four attributes designated as being mandatory (within the
Global Data Synchronization process) for uniquely identifying a set of data associated with
a GTIN. The product description field which is considered core, “tradeItemDescription“ is
automatically generated by the model from the four attributes listed below. If an attribute is
left blank or not defined, the product description exists only of attributes populated. While
two of the four attributes are designated as optional, since they may or may not exist, it is
widely recognized that most information providers will seek to provide values for all of these
attributes so as to provide a product description that is as accurate as possible. The
Product Description attributes replaces the Item Description Long and Medium found in the
previous GCI model.
The structure for the product description is:
Brand.......................................MANDATORY

(DATA DEFINITION)
Sub Brand ...............................OPTIONAL

Functional Name .....................MANDATORY
Variant .....................................OPTIONAL
Examples:
ACME Regular Salad Dressing Italian

ACME Regular Salad Dressing Ranch
Seven Islands Reduced Cal Salad Dressing Ranch
Seven Islands Reduced Cal Salad Dressing Italian
Unbranded Plants Tropical
Unbranded Plants Lily
For more accurate product description, several new attributes have been added to the
model. These are in most cases optional.
productRange
brandName
subBrand
functionalName (formerly known as Product Name)
tradeItemFormDescription
variant
descriptive Size
Fields were included with the recognition that the great majority of categories have not yet
had classification schemas deployed at the time of this document’s publication.
4.8 Code Lists

4.8.1 Code Lists
This section presents the issues concerning code lists that users have identified in implementing the
current EANyUCC Trade Item Data Synchronization Standards.
It would be better for all communities to adopt one set of code lists now. The analysis that resulted
in these code list recommendations took into account all definitions, examples, and business rules
contained in the Trade Item BRD. Code lists from EANCOM, UNCEFACT, ISO, ANSI X12, VICS
EDI, and UCS/WINS were also examined. The goal was to develop code lists that reflected the
intent of the original developers of the Trade Item.
Note these code lists are documentation only. It is envisioned these code list will be added to as
new requirements are introduced. It is not an exclusive or all-inclusive list but this is a living list.
External Code Lists

There are several code lists used within the EAN•UCC system that are maintained by agencies
other than EAN•UCC. The code lists that are reference in this section apply to several attributes
within the trade item as well as other business message standards.
Language Code

(DATA DEFINITION)
The Trade Item BMS restricts the use to just the two character language code as specified in ISO
639-1; these codes are lower case.
ISO Code Lists

The following ISO codes lists are used to represent languages (for text attributes), Country and
Subdivision (for country of origin and target market), and currencies (for amounts), and the source
for the code list.
Codes for the representation of names of languages -- Part 1:Alpha-2 code 2002
Available from: http://www.iso.ch or
ISO 639-1
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langcodes.html#ef
See Code List Source Bibliography section of this document.
Part 1 - Country Codes (Three Digit Format)
ISO 3166-1
Available from: http://www.iso.ch
Part 2 - Alpha Country Subdivision Code
ISO 3166-2
Codes for the representation of currencies and funds 2001
ISO 4217
EAN•UCC has three choices for code values:

Reference an external source like ISO.
Maintain a code list unique to the EAN•UCC system.
Maintain a code list based on an external code list.
Any code list EAN•UCC maintains will need to be accessible to the community and maintained in
such a way as to be detached from the schema versioning. The end result is the code lists will be
managed outside of the schemas in such a way to remain easy to update and allow for the syntax
checking of code values as is done with enumerated lists.
Unit of Measure
The Unit of Measure (UOM) code is used throughout the EAN•UCC System. In order to provide the
best value to the EAN•UCC community the UOM code list will be maintained by EAN•UCC for its
community. It is anticipated additional code values will be required. When the business
requirements are defined additional code values can be added. The following is the starting point.

(DATA DEFINITION)
The table below lists all of the attributes whose values are contained in code lists. The Item
team created a subgroup to handle the code lists. The work of the subgroup was based on
the following:
- Identifying which data elements require a code list
- When maintaining body or agency exists, refer to the body or agency
- When required, define unique list of valid values, using existing lists or
documentation (E.g. EANCOM and X12)
The subgroup’s objective was to keep the lists as short as possible, removing inconsistent,
repeated, unclear or too generic values and also removing information handled through
other data elements (E.g., Hazardous related information is handled by specific Des).
The issue of governance and maintenance of these code lists is still being developed.
Several of the code lists are maintained by outside agencies such as ISO. Other code lists
are unique to this data model, and will need to be maintained by an EAN.UCC entity.
The table enclosed in the following page represents the work of the group at the time this
document was released for Align BRG’s approval. A separate and more complete Addendum
may need to be added at a later time.

(DATA DEFINITION)
4.9 Relationship to Global Data Synchronization process

The Data Sync Trade Item model was built keeping in mind the design of the data
synchronization process being developed by the Data Sync Project Team under the Align
Data BRG.
The key principle that is carried over from that work is the assumption that when a trade
item’s information is transmitted from an information provider to a data pool, and data pool
to data pool (in network data synchronization) that the entire product hiearchy is
transmitted. In the grocery industry, that product hiearchy will normally include item, case
and pallet, and may also include other levels. A message detailing information about a
trade item must include at least one consumable and one orderable unit. Included in this
product hiearchy, it is understood that each link connecting the various levels is also
considered to be a part of the message.

(DATA DEFINITION)

(DATA DEFINITION)
The following four Appendixes were incorporated for informational purposes.
APPENDIX A – Attribute Variations

Shows how do attributes vary (by Target Market, by Relationship) or how can attributes be
repeated (Multiple Values Allowed).
APPENDIX B – Attribute Association by Trade Item Hierarchy Level for Data Sync
Shows the attribute association by each hierarchy level as it applies to Data
Synchronization.
APPENDIX C – Attributes Mandatory for Data Synchronization

It is recognized that the attributes listed in this data model may be used for a ‘one-to-many’
global data synchronization process. In light of this use, the table in Appendix 3 lists which
attributes are mandatory within this process. Please note, this does not mean that only
mandatory attributes are communicated via data sync. All other attributes, marked as
optional here, can also be included in messages.
APPENDIX D – Version 7.2 Model Harmonization Summary
