BAR CODE ATTRIBUTE EXTENSION v. 2.1

Problem Statement

Data pool communities currently engaged in data synchronization solutions currently utilize barcode related attributes to identify the bar code information on the product packaging.  These attributes do not currently exist in the EAN.UCC standards.
 
Parties receiving Trade Item Information need to know the actual product identifier that is physically on the trade item and the related barcode symbology. Recipients also need to know if the physical product identifier can be derived from the 14-digit GTIN data structure, particularly in instances where the same physical trade item product identifier may be contained in multiple trade item configurations.


Objective

The objective of the suggested changes is to make the Trade Item standard fulfil the needs and business requirements for parties currently involved in data synchronisation.

Audience

The intended audience for this standard includes manufacturers and retailer and any other actors interested in developing software or other IT-based services complying with the GS1 standards.
