CATALOGUE ITEM AUTHORISATION v. 2.1

Use of Catalogue Item Authorisation for Store Openings and New Item Introductions
The Catalogue Item Authorisation Message supports both the store opening and new item introduction scenarios by allowing the sending of either many trade items to a single business location or one trade item to a multiple locations. In the message, these two scenarios are implemented as a choice. In the case of a store opening, it is recommended to use the “MultipleItemAuthorisation” construct. For the new item scenario, it is recommended to use the “SingleItemAuthorisation construct (see class diagram). Note: the structure by design does not support multiple items to multiple business locations.

Use of Catalogue Item Authorisation Response for Store Openings and New Item Introductions
As a rule, the Catalogue Item Authorisation Response should resemble the structure of the originating Catalogue Item Authorisation. For example, if a Catalogue Item Authorisation was sent for one trade item to multiple business locations, the response should only contain one trade item. If a Catalogue Item Authorisation was sent for many trade items to a single business location, the response should only contain one business location. The Catalogue Item Authorisation Response supports both scenarios through the AuthorisationResponse class.

Reference between Catalogue Item Authorisation Response and the Catalogue Item Authorisation
During requirements gathering, it was decided that Item Authorisations are performed for individual items and there is no blanket acceptance or rejection of an entire Item Authorisation message. Because of this decision, there is no reference to the message identification of the originating Catalogue Item Authorisation in the Catalogue Item Authorisation Response.
