The Global Language of Business

9 Finance (Tax and Pricing)

This section provides an overview of the primary tax and pricing attributes used within the Global Data Model.

Requirements for providing tax information are generally driven by target market regulations. Local regulation may require additional tax information beyond the two attributes covered in this guideline, which would be provided via additional local attributes.

The price-related attributes convey pricing information used by the buyer for both communication to consumers and for guiding business process decisions.

8 Packaging

This section provides guidance on the set of attributes used to convey information about the make-up of product packaging, such as the packaging form, material and features. This information is specified for all levels of the product packaging hierarchy, e.g. each, inner pack, case and pallet. The goal is to provide an understanding of how these attributes may be populated at various levels, and how the attributes are related and used together.
