PEER-TO-PEER TRADE ITEM V. 2.0.2 |
|

|
Problem
Statement |
|
|
Item is the
second message in the trade process following the Party message. Item
elements are the mandatory attributes needed to align the item
information between trading partners. These attributes in combination
ensure the uniqueness of the data set associated with a GTIN. The use,
definition, and relevance of these attributes is the same for ALL GS1
industries. Following the Item attributes is an extension of
cross industry. These are data attributes that may be required in
conducting commerce between partners for the trade of an item or
service. These attributes are relevant to more than one
industry. The definition of these attributes must be the same
for all industries.
Item and the extension of the cross industry data processes include
communicating the data elements necessary to support the core business
requirements in the global trading environment. The Party and Item
process are mandatory in the completion of the price, purchase order,
invoice, etc. messages that follow in the global trade process.
The objective of this document is to elaborate the Data Synchronization
Data Model for Trade Item (hereafter referred to as ‘Data Sync Trade
Item’) business process in enough detail to support the construction of
standards. It is assumed that the players, both seller and buyer, have
established a business understanding of the trading partner
relationship. The challenge is to provide the core elements necessary
to complete all supply chain processes without duplicates. |
|
|
Objective |
|
|
To supply
the detail design of the (specific) business transaction needed
to meet the re-quirements for Data Alignment.
|
|
|
Audience |
|
|
The audience of the standards would be
any participant in the global supply chain. This would include
retailers, manufacturers, service providers and other third parties.

Case Description: |
There is only one scenario in

of section 1.1. Item data alignment is the process of communicating the
core item and cross industry data elements following the establishment
of a business relationship between suppier, buyer or third party. |
| Actors
(Goal): |
The two general players in the
Data Sync Trade Item business process are the "seller" and the "buyer".
Depending on the specific nature of the relationship other players may
have a role, such as a Third Party. The graphic flow below pictures the
core sequence of messages, and is expanded to account for additional
scenarios.

| Preconditions:
|
The buyer and seller must make
contact and set up a business relationship before trade can proceed.
This is a prerequisite to all of the other steps. This initial contact
can be made in many different ways. Following the establishment of the
trading agreement the parties must exchange their basic business data
such as trading partner names, addresses, locations, item attributes,
price lists, contracts and trading partner agreements. Specifically,
the Core Item message follows the Core Party message in the data
alignment process. This process creates a common understanding between
the trading parties which can be used as a resource throughout the
trading process.
The Data Sync Trade Item business process begins when the parties
decide to do business together. The next step is for the buyer to
communicate the Party organizational information to the seller. The
seller provides his Party organizational information to buyer. Other
data alignment follows such as item and price attributes. |
| Postconditions: |
The end-state of the Data Sync
Trade Item business process occurs when the par-ties have achieved
Party and Item data alignment. |
| Scenario: |
Begins when
trading partners discuss the need to exchange item information.
