Introduction

novis Catalogue™ is the leading product information database for the electronic exchange of product information between retailers and vendors in the GM&A, grocery, hardlines, and other industries in the United States and worldwide. It contains more than

118 million Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) from almost 6,000 vendors and grows daily.

Inovis Catalogue enables vendors to focus on product catalogue content and sales instead of storing and communicating product information in different ways for different customers.

The chapter is organized in the following sections:

■ “Audience”

■ “Conventions Used in This Guide” on page 2

■ “Accessing Product Documentation” on page 2

■ “Retailers and Vendors” on page 3

■ “Contacting Technical Support” on page 3

Audience The expected users of this document are EDI technical personnel for North American vendor customers of Inovis Catalogue.

Note: Inovis Catalogue supports v4010 and v4030 for inbound 832 documents. Catalogue always sends outbound 832 documents using v4030. Customers need to use the applicable version number in their map and ensure with Inovis Technical Support that the Inovis translator is set up for the intended version for inbound documents.

This guide is designed for vendors (and distributors) using 832 v4030 documents to maintain their catalogues (inbound data) in Inovis Catalogue and receive outbound data in 832 format (v4030) as ad hoc downloads.

This audience for this guide is technical personnel charged with the following:

■ Connecting to Inovis Catalogue via electronic mailboxing

■ Preparing inbound 832 documents to send to Inovis Catalogue

■ Receiving outbound 832 documents from Inovis Catalogue

This guide includes mapping guidelines for 832 documents.

Overview 1his chapter provides an overview of using the batch interface to communicate with Inovis Catalogue using 832 documents. The batch interface enables vendors to maintain their catalogues (inbound data) and receive ad hoc downloads (outbound

data, requested through the browser interface).

Inovis Catalogue supports EDI ANSI X12 v4010 and v4030 specifications for inbound 832 documents. Catalogue always sends outbound 832 documents using v4030. Customers need to use the applicable version number in their map and ensure with Inovis Technical Support that the Inovis translator is set up for the intended versions for inbound documents.

This guide is specifically designed for vendors (and distributors) using 832 v4030 documents. For version 4010, refer to the Inovis Catalogue 832 (v4010) Batch Guide for Vendors.

The chapter is organized in the following sections:

■ “Stages of the Batch Process” on page 5

■ “Batch Interface System Components” on page 6

■ “File Formats Supported” on page 6

■ “Customer Requirements” on page 7

■ “Electronic Mailbox Addresses” on page 7

■ “Catalogue Organization” on page 7

■ “GTIN Type and Package Characteristics ” on page 8

■ “Email Confirmation” on page 8

■ “Online Correction of Errors” on page 9

Stages of the Batch ProcessThe Inovis Catalogue EDI 832 batch process runs continuously, seven days a week, except between 8 pm and 12 am Pacific Standard Time (PDT).

An overview of the Inovis Catalogue inbound batch process is as follows:

1 Inovis picks up the inbound 832 document from the Inovis electronic mailbox.

2 Inovis checks file integrity against the EDI ANSI X12 (v4030) standards.

3 Inovis archives a copy of the 832.

4 The 832 is validated for ANSI X12 qualifiers, mandatory segments and elements, field lengths, and so on. A 997 (Functional Acknowledgement) is sent to the vendor.

Batch Interface System Components

5 The files are queued and processed in FIFO order (first files in are the first files out).

Note: Control numbers must be unique. If a duplicate control number is found, the entire EDI document will be ignored. When resending a corrected document, it must be sent with a new control number.

6 Within the 832, Inovis Catalogue processes each valid ST/SE group as a separate transaction. As each ST/SE group is processed, one of the following occurs:

■ Translation Error — If a translation error occurs in the ST/SE group, the entire group is sent to Error Processing (EP). Subsequent ST/SE groups will continue to be processed. You can use EP (accessible through the browser interface) to locate the error in the 832 document. See “Online Correction of Errors” on page 9.

■ Valid ST/SE group — If the ST/SE group is valid, Catalogue loads the document and runs business rule validations, data validations, and compliance checks for each item. This process results in one of the following:

■ No errors — Successful data maintenance for that item.

■ Errors — The errors are sent to Error Processing (EP). No data maintenance takes place for that item. You can correct the errors (EP is accessible through the browser interface) and resubmit the error document. See“Online Correction of Errors” on page 9.

7 Inovis Catalogue sends you an email for each EDI document that contains errors. It includes a hyperlink to the browser interface where you can troubleshoot errors. See “Email Confirmation” on page 8.

Batch Interface System ComponentsThe basic components of the Inovis Catalogue batch interface are as follows:

■ Client software to connect customer to the Inovis electronic mailbox

■ Inovis electronic mailbox

■ Inovis Catalogue product information database

Catalogue OrganizationInovis Catalogue organizes items in a two-level structure (EDI locations shown in parentheses):

■ Selection Codes (BCT03)

■ Products (LIN02/LIN03)

Selection Codes define broad categories of items. Each Selection Code is a three-digit number that can contain any number of Products. A Product is a grouping of items that have the same shape, material, function, vendor style or part number, or other characteristics except size or color. A Product identifier is up to 20 digits or upper-case characters. A Product can contain any number of items, which are identified by GTINs.

S A M P L E

Selection Code 108 and Product 123SHOEA appear in the 832 as follows:

BCT*RC*125103335555*108******01*00 …





O VE R V I E W

GTIN Type and Package Characteristics

LIN*A1*VN*123SHOEA*UP*555555011112*CM*234*SM*23456

GTIN Type and Package Characteristics Each GTIN is either consumer-sellable (scanned at POS and can also be vendor-sellable) or only vendor-sellable. This is defined by the GTIN Type (see “GTIN Number Structures” on page 165 for details):

■ Consumer-sellable or vendor-sellable: UP, EN, EO

■ Vendor-sellable only: UK

The GTIN Type is first specified in the LIN segment and indicates which of the following segments are used to define the GTIN’s package characteristics:

■ G55 - Consumer-sellable package

■ G39 - Vendor-sellable master pack

■ PKL - Vendor-sellable inner packs without their own GTINs

If the Inner Pack is marked with a GTIN, the GTIN is specified in the LIN, not the PKL.

The set of GTIN identifiers in G5501/G5502 or G3902/G3903 must match the LIN GTIN data pair it belongs to.

Email ConfirmationWhen an 832 document is processed by Catalogue, there is a possibility that the document may have the following types of errors:

■ Translation errors

■ Errors resulting from business rule violations, data validations, and compliance checks.

Catalogue sends these errors to Error Processing (EP) and also sends you an email for each EDI document that contains errors. The email includes the number of errors that were found and a short description of each error. The email is sent to the primary contact email address for your account (Account > Account Details). Be sure that this email address is valid.

The email also contains a hyperlink to the Inovis Catalogue login page. To view the errors, use Error Processing in the browser interface (Data Management > Error Processing). Some error transactions can be corrected and resubmitted using EP. See “Online Correction of Errors” on page 9 for more information about identifying and correcting errors.

Sample EmailThe email can be recognized by its subject line: "Inovis Catalogue error report (control number: DocumentControlNumber)" as shown in the example.

Online Correction of ErrorsTwo types of errors are sent to Error Processing:

■ Translation errors

■ Errors resulting from business rule violations, data validations, and compliance checks.

You are notified by email (see “Email Confirmation” on page 8) of each EDI document (ST/SE group) that contains errors. You can use Error Processing (EP), accessible through the browser interface, to:

■ Locate a translation error in the 832 document.

Errors in the EDI document that cause processing to abort before translation occurs, cannot be fixed in Error Processing; however, you can view a fragment of the file surrounding the error which will help you identify the cause of the error. Once you review the error, delete the error document from EP and generate a new EDI file from your source system to resend to Inovis.

■ Correct and resubmit, or delete, errors due to business rule violations, data validations, or compliance checks. These types of errors can be edited in EP using Catalogue’s internal qXML format.

For more detailed information about identifying and correcting errors using the browser interface (Data Management > Error Processing), see the Inovis Catalogue Browser Interface User Guide for Vendors or the online help.

Validation 2his chapter explains validation checks that are run on 832 documents sent to Inovis Catalogue. The chapter is organized in the following sections:

■ “Transaction Validation ” on page 11

■ “EDI Standards Validation” on page 11

■ “Translation, Data Validation, and Data Maintenance” on page 11

■ “Types of Data Validations” on page 12

Transaction Validation Transaction validation of inbound 832s occurs in two stages:

■ EDI validation

■ Translation, data validation and data maintenance

EDI Standards ValidationWhen an 832 document is sent to Inovis, it is compared to EDI ANSI X12 (v4030) standards and validated for ANSI X12 qualifiers, mandatory segment and elements, field lengths, and so on. If it passes EDI validation, you will receive a positive functional acknowledgement (FA) and the document proceeds to stage two: translation, data validation, and data maintenance. If it fails EDI validation, you will receive a negative FA, and you will not be able to view or process the document through Error Processing (EP).

Translation, Data Validation, and Data Maintenance

TranslationOnce the 832 document passes EDI standards validation, it is processed by Inovis Catalogue. Catalogue processes the document one ST/SE group at a time. If the ST/SE group contains valid X12 v4030 EDI that is currently not supported by Catalogue, a translation error results and you are notified by email. See “Email Confirmation” on page 8 for information about setting up a valid email address.

Note: If the ST/SE group contains a translation error, the entire ST/SE group will be rejected. Catalogue sends these errors to EP. See “Online Correction of Errors” on page 9 for more information about identifying and correcting errors.

If the document passes translation, processing continues with data validation, described in the next section.

T


VA L I D A T I O N

Types of Data Validations

Data Validation and Data MaintenanceOnce a document passes translation, Catalogue runs data validations for each item in the document. The following occurs:

■ Valid ST/SE groups are processed to update your catalogue (data maintenance).

■ ST/SE groups with errors are forwarded to EP, and you are notified by an email. See “Email Confirmation” on page 8 for information about setting up a valid email address.

Types of Data Validations Catalogue runs the following types of data validations.

General Data Validation

■ Data type validation fields (see “Data Types for ANSI X12 (v4030) Transactions” on page 20). All documents are validated to ANSI X12 (v4030) standards.

■ In addition, Catalogue validates all documents against another subset of validations. The following special characters are not allowed: > ^ ` [ ] * ~

Note: < and " are allowed.

Selection Code and Product Validation

■ Each Selection Code and Product must have a unique identifier in a vendor's catalogue (Products are stored in upper case; they cannot be differentiated by varying case)

■ PRODUCT DESCRIPTION is required when adding a Product; we recommend that it be unique (that is, do not use the same description more than once)

■ The following characters must not appear in a Product (LIN data pair with VN qualifier): ! @ # $ % & * ( ) _ / |

GTIN ValidationGTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is an umbrella term for trade items. It is a 14-digit reference field used to uniquely identify a consumer unit, packaging level, or logistic unit (e.g., prepack container, inner pack, case, module, or pallet) worldwide.

GTIN accommodates the four different numbering structures (formerly called Item Number Types) currently used to identify trade items: EAN/UCC-8, UCC-12 (UPC), EAN/UCC-13, and EAN/UCC-14.

GTIN identifier validation includes the following:

■ Validation of GS1 US Company Prefix (formerly UCC Manufacturer Block ID) when GTIN is type UP (applies to manufacturers but not distributors). This check is now part of the Prefix Validation compliance check. For more information about compliance checks, see Chapter 3 "Compliance Checks," on page 15, as well as the Inovis Catalogue Browser User Interface Guide.

■ Each GTIN number/type identifier pair must be unique in the vendor’s catalogue and across all manufacturer catalogues in Inovis Catalogue (same number can be used with different GTIN types)

Note: A GTIN can exist in catalogues of a single manufacturer (“V” account type) and one or more distributors (“D” account type).

VA L I D A T I O N



2

■ Check digit validation for UPC and EAN. See “Check Digit Calculations” on page 167.

■ GTIN number structure requirements. See “GTIN Number Structures” on page 165.

GTIN Attribute Validations and RulesWith the exception of SELECTION CODE DESCRIPTION, PRODUCT DESCRIPTION, and PRODUCT EXTENDED DESCRIPTION, catalogue data attributes are attached to GTINs, not Selection Codes or Products.

GTIN attribute validations include the following:

■ Field length, data type, and Unit of Measure (UOM), if any, as defined in the Inovis Catalogue Attributes Guide.

■ Attribute list values stored at Inovis must be sent in exact, case-sensitive format as they appear in the mapping guide below (for example, “Short sleeve,” not “short sleeve”)

■ Conformance to industry standards based on the compliance checks that are configured for your account

■ When updating a multiline attribute (an attribute that can contain more than one value, such as country of origin - see “Multiline Data Attributes” on page 14), send all of the values that are to appear in the updated list, not only the new values because the entire list will be replaced

GTIN Container and Component Validations and RulesContainers (formerly called prepacks or parent items) are GTINs that can contain other GTINS called components. GTIN container or component designation is stored in Inovis Catalogue in the data attribute PREPACK/CONTAINER CODE (“Pack” in the browser interface, and ITEM.PREPACK_CODE in qXML).

The following validations and guidelines apply to containers and components:

■ A container designation (CA, DS, IP, MP, MX, SP, PL, PU, PC) is required for a GTIN to be a container, and the designation must be assigned at the time the GTIN is added to the catalogue

■ A container designation can be changed to one of the other eight container designations but not eliminated (that is, you cannot change a container to a plain GTIN)

■ A component designation (PP) is not required for a GTIN to be a component, but if the GTIN is to be sold only as part of a container it should be designated PP (it can be changed to blank later)

■ A GTIN initially without a container designation can later be designated PP but not a container

■ A component does not require the same Selection Code and/or Product as its container

■ A component must exist in Inovis Catalogue before it is assigned to a container

■ To change a component's quantity or UOM, you must remove the component from the container, then add it to the container again with the corrected information

■ A component GTIN cannot be deleted until its container is deleted

Note: To delete a component GTIN but not its container, use the SLN segment or the browser interface to sever the container-component relationship, and then delete the GTIN.


VA L I D A T I O N


■ Deleting a container does not delete its component GTINs, it deletes only the container GTIN and severs the container-component relationships

■ A container can have from 0 to 100 component GTINs

■ A container can contain other container GTINs, but the second level of containers cannot contain a third level of containers

■ A container is visible to retailers whether complete, incomplete, or empty

Multiline Data AttributesMost attributes can contain only one single value. Multiline attributes, however, support a list of values, such as a list of countries of origin for an item.

Values in a multiline attribute are returned in the order they appear in the load request.

To update a multiline attribute, you must send the entire revised list, not only the new values or deletions. The list you send does not modify the existing list, it replaces it. Similarly, to clear multiline values, send a new list, leaving out the values that should no longer appear in the list.

There are several groups of associated multiline attributes (that is, attributes that are logically related) in the Inovis Catalogue EDI interface. Chapter 4 "Mapping to Inovis Catalogue," on page 19 contains specific information regarding the number of allowed occurrences for each group. See the specific segment outlines for details.

15

Compliance Checks 3his chapter describes the compliance checks that are available in Inovis Catalogue and provides details about the validation rules that comprise each check. Compliance checks are a way to validate Catalogue data according to a set of pre-determined rules.

They can be used to enforce industry standards and may be mandated by your Trading Partners.

Note: The compliance checks are unrelated to which version of the ANSI X12 EDI standards you use (v4010 or v4030); they are applied after translation.

Inovis Catalogue can perform several different compliance checks. The compliance checks that are available to your account are determined by your Inovis administrator. Options are available if you want to be notified of non-compliant data. For more information about compliance check options and their configuration, see the Inovis Catalogue Browser User Interface Guide.

The following compliance checks are available:

■ 2.0 Compatibility — verifies that an item is compatible with Inovis Catalogue 2.0 and the allowed attributes will be visible to 2.0 Retailers.

■ GMA Compliance — verifies that an item is compliant with GM&A (General Merchandise and Apparel) industry standards.

■ Prefix Validation — verifies that an item’s GTIN begins with a prefix associated with your account. Not available to distributors.

■ Product Description Uniqueness — verifies that an item’s Product Description is unique across all products within your catalogue.

C O M P L I A N C E C H E C K S

2.0 Compatibility

2.0 CompatibilityInovis Catalogue vendors and distributors can use the 2.0 Compatibility compliance check to verify that an item is compatible with Inovis Catalogue 2.0 and the allowed attributes will be visible to 2.0 Retailers.

For this compliance check, Catalogue validates the item’s GTIN information (the qXML parameters ITEM_NUMBER_TYPE and ITEM_NUMBER) and the item’s prepack code (ITEM.PREPACK_CODE) according to the rules shown in the following tables. An item passes the compliance check only if it passes all GTIN rules and prepack code rules.

GTIN Rules

Prepack Code Rules

An item PASSES the compliance check if: An item FAILS the compliance check if:

■ The GTIN Type is UCC-12 (UP)

■ The GTIN Type is EAN-13 (EN)

■ The GTIN Type is GTIN-14 (UK) and the leading digit is zero

■ The GTIN Type is EAN-8 (EO)

■ The GTIN Type is GTIN-14 (UK) and the leading digit is not zero


■ ITEM.PREPACK_CODE is one of the following:

■ blank

■ MP

■ PC

■ PP

■ PU

■ SP

■ ITEM.PREPACK_CODE is one of the following:

■ CA

■ DS

■ IP

■ MX

■ PL


GMA Compliance


3

GMA ComplianceInovis Catalogue vendors and distributors can use the GMA Compliance check to verify that an item is compliant with GM&A industry standards.

For this compliance check, Catalogue validates the item’s NRF color and size codes (ITEM.NRF_COLOR_CODE and ITEM.NRF_SIZE_CODE) and descriptions (ITEM.NRF_COLOR_CODE_DESCRIPTION and ITEM.NRF_SIZE_CODE_DESCRIPTION) and the item’s prepack code (ITEM.PREPACK_CODE) according to the rules shown in the following table.

Color and Size Codes and Descriptions Rules


■ Both color code and color description are present

■ Color code is exactly 3 digits (no spaces)

■ For color code equal to 000, color description is NO COLOR

■ For color description equal to NO COLOR, color code is 000

■ For ITEM.PREPACK_CODE equal to PP or blank, size code starts with 1-8; exception is 00000 for NO SIZE

■ For ITEM.PREPACK_CODE equal to CA, DS, IP, MP, MX, PC, PL, PU, SP, size code starts with 9; exception is 00000 for NO SIZE

■ Both size code and size description are present

■ For size code equal to 00000, size description is NO SIZE

■ For size description equal to NO SIZE, size code is 00000

■ Different color codes under a single Product have the same color description

■ A single color code under a single Product has two different color descriptions

■ Once the value is set (populated), color code is changed

■ Different size codes under a single Product have the same size description

■ A single size code under a single Product has two different size descriptions

■ Once the value is set (populated), size code is changed

■ Two of the same type of GTIN exist under the same Product with the same color and size codes



Prefix Validation

Prefix ValidationInovis Catalogue vendors will be required to use the Prefix Validation compliance check that verifies that an item’s GTIN begins with a prefix associated with their account.

Note: This compliance check is not available to distributors.

This compliance check is applied to all UCC-12 (UP), EAN-13 (EN), and GTIN-14 (UK) items that are added using any of the Catalogue 4.x interfaces. It is not applied to EAN-8 (EO) items.

To verify your valid GS1 (UCC/EAN) company prefixes, go to Account > Account Details and click the GS1 (UCC/EAN) Company Prefixes tab.

Product Description UniquenessInovis Catalogue vendors and distributors can use the Product Description Uniqueness compliance check to verify that an item’s description is unique across all products within their catalogue.

For this compliance check, Catalogue validates the item’s Product Description (HIERARCHY.PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION) according to the rules shown in the following table.

Product Description Rules


■ The item’s Product Description value is unique across all Products within your catalogue

■ The item’s Product Description value is not unique across all Products within your catalogue

Mapping to Inovis Catalogue 4his chapter explains some of the basics of mapping to Inovis Catalogue. Each element in an 832 document sent to Inovis Catalogue is translated into qXML format by Inovis before being forwarded to Inovis Catalogue. Use the mapping guide (see Chapter 5

"Inbound/Outbound Mapping," on page 25) and data validation guidelines (see Chapter 2 "Validation," on page 11) to ensure well-formed EDI that will translate successfully into qXML.

This chapter is organized in the following sections:

■ “Action Types Supported”

■ “Data Types for ANSI X12 (v4030) Transactions” on page 20

■ “Notes About the Mapping Guide” on page 21

■ “Segment and Element Delimiters Supported” on page 21

■ “Mapping the ISA / IEA and GS / GE” on page 21

Action Types SupportedBefore information can be processed in or out of the batch system, you must communicate the type of action required. Action Codes can be specified at the heading or detail level.

Action Codes are processed in the order they appear in the EDI document. They can be applied to the entire ST or to individual Products and GTINs in the transaction.

These EDI action types are accepted at the heading level:

■ Cancel (01)

■ Add (02)

■ Delete (03)

■ Change (04)

■ Replace (05)

If the user specifies any of the above Action Codes in the BCT10 segment at the header level, the Action Code applies to all LIN segments in the transaction set, and the G5301 segment is ignored. G5301 is an optional segment.

If the action code in the BCT10 is 00, different action codes are required in segment G5301 at the Detail level to indicate the action for each LIN individually:

■ Change (001)

■ Delete (002)

T


M A P P I N G T O I N OV I S C A T A L O G U E

Data Types for ANSI X12 (v4030) Transactions

■ Add Full Item Detail (003)

Note: Cancel and Replace are not supported at the LIN level.

Data Types for ANSI X12 (v4030) TransactionsIn the tables below, the Attributes column shows the data type and minimum/maximum number of characters for the associated data element.

E X A M P L E :

AN 1/20

The data type codes are as follows:

■ AN—Alphanumeric, a sequence of any printable characters. Significant characters should be left-justified. Leading spaces, when they occur, are assumed significant. Trailing spaces should not be included.

■ DT—Date. CCYYMMDD format.

■ ID—Code values taken from a predefined X12 list.

■ N0—Numeric data that does not allow a decimal.

Note: A N0 note in the shaded area of the mapping guide indicates that no decimal is allowed, and displays the minimum/maximum number of digits allowed.

■ R—Numeric data that allows a decimal. The maximum number of digits to the right of the decimal appears after the comma (e.g., R 1/8,4 indicates that four digits are allowed to the right of the decimal point). Note the following:

■ Use a decimal for fractional values.

■ Do not include the decimal for whole numbers. If the value is a whole number and does not require a decimal point, do not place a decimal point at the end, even if its character type is R.

■ Do not use leading zeros unless needed to satisfy a minimum length requirement.

■ Do not use commas (e.g., use 1000 rather than 1,000).

■ Use a minus symbol (-) to indicate a negative value. Do not use plus symbols.

■ If the value includes a decimal, do not use trailing zeros unless required to show the level of precision.

■ Minus symbols and decimal points do not count toward field length limits.

■ Do not use special characters to indicate currency or measurements.

E X A M P L E :

Send one foot as “1”. Send one-and-one-eighth inches as “1.125”.

Send $15.95 as “15.95”.

Send $29.00 as “29”.

Notes About the Mapping Guide


4

Notes About the Mapping GuideTake note of the following when working with the mapping guidelines below:

■ Required Segments and Data Elements. Codes indicate whether a segment or data element is mandatory, optional, or conditional on the presence of another data element. These codes appear in the Req. Des. column of the Mapping the STs section, and the Attributes column of the individual 832 segments in the mapping guide:

■ Mandatory (M)

■ Optional (O)

■ Conditional (C)

Note: A common use of C is a unit of measure (UOM) that is conditional on the presence of an optional (O) measurement.

■ Data Attributes. In the 832, a piece of information about a Product or GTIN is referred to as a data element. In the Inovis Catalogue, these pieces of information are referred to as attributes. For easy customer cross-reference, the shaded notes sections in the mapping guidelines provide the Inovis Catalogue attribute name in all capital letters (for example, SEASON) that is equivalent to the 832 data element.

Segment and Element Delimiters Supported The following delimiters are supported by the Inovis data translator.

Mapping the ISA / IEA and GS / GE

ISA HeaderThe ISA is fixed length (minimum and maximum are equal for each element), but data element separators are used between data elements to be consistent with the basic syntax of segment structure. Maximum lengths provided reference the minimum/maximum lengths read by the Inovis data translator.

Inbound/Outbound Mapping 5his chapter presents the mapping guidelines for each segment in an inbound or outbound 832 document.

The mapping guidelines detail 832 segments used by vendors sending data to Inovis Catalogue and receiving data by ad hoc downloads, and retailers sending a request for vendor data and receiving the response, and receiving data by subscription profiles or ad hoc downloads.

Inovis Catalogue supports v4010 and v4030 for inbound 832 documents. Catalogue always sends outbound 832 documents using v4030. Customers need to use the applicable version number in their map and ensure with Inovis Technical Support that the Inovis translator is set up for the intended version of inbound documents.

IntroductionThe Functional Group ID is SC.

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Price/Sales Catalogue Transaction Set (832) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. The transaction set can be used to provide for customary and established business and industry practice relative to furnishing or requesting the price of goods or services in the form of a catalogue.

Loop:

Level: Heading

Usage: Mandatory

Max Use: 1

Purpose: To indicate the beginning of the Price/Sales Catalogue Transaction Set and specify catalogue purpose and number information

Syntax Notes:

Notes: INBOUND to Inovis:

Use BCT10 only to clarify to the receiver the sender's purpose of the transaction set. Use codes 01, 02, 03, 04, and 05 to maintain catalogue information owned by the vendor.

If BCT10 contains code 00, a mix of adds, changes, and deletes is assumed. The G53 segment at the detail level specifies the action to be taken for each LIN.

To add or update account attributes without sending catalogue data, use BCT10=04. Account maintenance will be ignored for BCT10=05.

To move a Product to a different Selection Code in your catalogue, see the description under BCT03.

OUTBOUND from Inovis:

If the Products or GTINs being sent are new or updated and part of an active subscription profile, no action code will be sent in the BCT10. If the subscription profile includes the "Delete" information type, then a delete action will be sent in the G5301 to clarify which records are tagged for deletion.

BCT03 685 Catalogue Version Number C AN 3/3

Identifying version number of catalogue or superseded catalogue

SELECTION CODE as detailed in the VICS EDI Trade Item Identification and Communication Guidelines

Inovis Note: Format (N0 3/3)

Each vendor should establish a logical catalogue hierarchy (see above). In Inovis Catalogue, this starts with the Selection Code and is followed by the Product and then the GTIN. Vendors may set up multiple Selection Codes, which serve as high-level groupings for Products. Each Product and its one or more GTINs must be assigned to a Selection Code.

In addition to grouping Products, Selection Codes enable a vendor to grant Trading Partners access to portions of the catalogue. Inovis allows vendors to grant access to their Trading Partners at the level of the entire catalogue, or at the level of one or more Selection Codes in that catalogue. It is important to assign Selection Codes not only with product groupings in mind, but also Trading Partner access if this feature is used.

To move the Product referenced in LIN02/03 to a different Selection Code in your catalogue, do the following:

1. Create a new Selection Code, if needed.

2. Make sure that retailers you want to receive an Inovis Catalogue export that notifies them of the change have access to the Selection Code where the Product will be moved. Do this before moving the Product. Note that retailers who lose access to GTINs as a result of the Product move will not be notified by Inovis Catalogue.

3. In BCT03 enter the Selection Code where you want to move the Product.

4. In BCT10, use either the change (04) or replace (05) action.

Inovis Catalogue will move the Product and all of its GTINs and associated attributes to the specified Selection Code. It will not change attribute data other than Selection Code data.

Moving a Product in this way does not impact 1SYNC (formerly UCCnet) registration of the Product.

Important: If you do not want to move the Product, make sure that the specified Selection Code is the one where the Product currently resides. If it is different, Inovis Catalogue will move the Product.

Inovis Note: This code may only be used when the intended action for the Products and GTINs in the detail area is add, delete, or change. Cancel and Replace actions may only be communicated at the header level in the BCT10 and are not supported in the G53 segment.

01 Cancellation

Restricted use. See VICS EDI Trade Item Identification and Communication Guidelines.

Inovis Attribute: CANCEL DATE. Only GTINs may be canceled.

For a GTIN to qualify for cancellation, it must never have been introduced into the supply chain, produced or shipped. If a GTIN does not meet these criteria, it must be discontinued (DTM01=036) rather than canceled.

To cancel a GTIN, one of the LIN Pairs EN, EO, UK, or UP (GTIN) is required. In addition, a CANCEL DATE may be sent in the DTM segment (DTM01=177). This date may not be more than one month prior to the processing date or it will result in an error. If no CANCEL DATE is sent, Inovis will use the processing date.

Canceled GTINs may not be reused until 12 months after cancellation. Inovis recommends that canceled GTINs remain on the catalogue until this 12-month period has passed.

02 Add

Inovis Note:

To add a Selection Code, BCT03 (Selection Code) is required. If the Selection Code already exists in your catalogue, the action will be ignored and no error message will be returned.

To add a Product, BCT03 (Selection Code), LIN Pair/VN (Product), and PID Pair/08 (Product Description) are required. See PID segment for additional instructions regarding Product Description.

To add a GTIN, BCT03 (Selection Code), LIN Pair/VN (Product), and one of the LIN Pairs EN, EO, UK, or UP (GTIN) is required.

When adding a Product or GTIN, if the parent Selection Code and/or Product referenced does not exist, it, too, will be added to the catalogue.


Ref. Des.





03 Delete

Inovis Note:

Deleting a Selection Code deletes all Products and GTINs under the Selection Code. To delete a Selection Code, do not include any LIN segments. If LIN segments are included, only Products or GTINs will be deleted.

Deleting a Product deletes all GTINs under the Product, as well as the Product and all of its attributes. To delete a Product, do not include a GTIN in the LIN segment. Including a GTIN in the LIN will delete only the GTIN.

To delete a Product, BCT03 (Selection Code) and LIN Pair/VN (Product) are required.

To delete a GTIN, only one of the LIN Pairs EN, EO, UK, or UP (GTIN) is required.

Deleting a GTIN from the catalogue does not alter the minimum retention period (30 months for apparel and 48 months for all other items) as defined in the VICS EDI Trade Item Identification and Communication Guidelines.

When the last GTIN is deleted from a Product, the Product is automatically deleted from Inovis Catalogue.

04 Change

Inovis Note:

Change means changing the value in a specific field within a record to something different than what currently exists on the Catalogue. A Change action code will not blank out fields. Change requires sending only fields that are changing.

To change account information but not provide product data, do not send Selection Code or LIN loop.

To change Selection Code Description, BCT03 (Selection Code) and BCT09 (Selection Code Description) are required.

To change Product attributes, BCT03 (Selection Code) and LIN Pair/VN (Product) are required.

To change a GTIN, BCT03 (Selection Code), LIN Pair/VN (Product), and one of the LIN Pairs EN, EO, UK, or UP (GTIN) are required.

Product name and GTIN identifier/qualifier cannot be changed in the existing record. To change them, delete the record, then re-add it with the new value(s). Additional constraints may be imposed by your configured compliance checks.


Ref. Des.





5

05 Replace

Inovis Note:

If you specify replace for an existing item, the item is updated only with the attributes specified in that data record. A Replace action code will blank out fields.

Account maintenance will be ignored for BCT10=05.

To replace Selection Code Description, BCT03 (Selection Code) and BCT09 (Selection Code Description) are required.

To replace Product attributes, BCT03 (Selection Code) and LIN Pair/VN (Product) are required.

To replace a GTIN, BCT03 (Selection Code), LIN Pair/VN (Product), and one of the LIN Pairs EN, EO, UK, or UP (GTIN) are required.

Product name and GTIN identifier/qualifier cannot be changed in the existing record. To change them, delete the record, then re-add it with the new value(s). Additional constraints may be imposed by your configured compliance checks.

MEA Measurements

MEA MeasurementsPosition: 0800

Loop: LIN Optional

Level: Detail

Usage: Optional

Max Use: 31

Purpose: To specify physical measurements or counts, including dimensions, tolerances, variances, and weights

Syntax Notes: 1 At least one of MEA03, MEA05, MEA06, or MEA08 is required.

2 If MEA05 is present, then MEA04 is required.

3 If MEA06 is present, then MEA04 is required.

Notes: Inovis Note: Linear dimensions (i.e. Length, Width, Height) for a single set of values, such as the consumer item, must be in the same unit of measure. Gross and Net Weight for a single set of values must also be in the same unit of measure.

If the GTIN being described in this LIN loop is a pallet GTIN (where the Prepack/container code in PID04=PL), trade item dimensions must be specified in the G39 segment. If both the G39 and the MEA contain pallet dimensions for a pallet GTIN, the G39 takes precedence. If the GTIN being described in this LIN loop is not a pallet GTIN, pallet dimensions for a pallet configuration of this GTIN are specified in the MEA segment.

If the GTIN being described in this LIN loop is a consumer unit (where the Prepack/container code in PID04 is not equal to CA, DS, IP, MX, or PL), Net Weight must be specified in the G55 segment (G5526/27/28). If G5526/27/28 and a similar occurrence of the MEA are provided (MEA01=PD, MEA02=WT, MEA03/04), the G55 takes precedence. For all consumer units, the G55 is used to specify packaged dimensions for the GTIN, and the MEA segment is used to specify unpackaged dimensions, only when they are relevant to the item synchronization process (i.e. large appliances that are shipped packaged, but displayed on the retail floor unpackaged).

Refer to the segment structure table following the MEA segment outline for detailed information on how to format the MEA segment correctly for each attribute supported.

Validation Notes: When ALTERNATE UNIT OF MEASURE is provided, INVOICED UNIT OF MEASURE is required.

G55 Item Characteristics - Consumer UnitPosition: 1680

Loop: LIN Optional

Level: Detail

Usage: Optional

Max Use: 1

Purpose: To provide physical characteristics relative to a consumer unit

Syntax Notes: 1 If either G5503 or G5504 is present, then the other is required.

2 If either G5505 or G5506 is present, then the other is required.





7 If any of G5523, G5524, or G5525 is present, then all are required.



Notes: Use this segment to provide physical characteristics relative to a consumer selling unit.

Specify the dimensions of the consumer unit by using G5505 through G5510. Linear dimensions must be in the same unit of measure. Specify the gross weight of the consumer unit using G5523/24/25. Specify the net weight of the consumer unit using G5526/27/28. Gross and Net Weight must also be in the same unit of measure. Specify the volume (cube) of the consumer unit using G5511 and G5512.

If the GTIN given in this LIN loop is a replacement for another GTIN, specify the GTIN that is being replaced in G5529/30.

This segment can be used also to specify the type of packaging for the consumer unit by using G5533.

Inovis Note: The qualifier/data pair in G5501/02 must match the GTIN specified in the preceding LIN segment.

For all consumer units (where the Prepack/container code in PID04 is not equal to CA, DS, IP, MX, or PL), Net Weight must be specified in this segment (G5526/27/28). If a similar occurrence of the MEA is provided (MEA01=PD, MEA02=WT, MEA03/04), the G55 takes precedence. For all consumer units, use the G55 to specify packaged dimensions for the GTIN, and use the MEA segment to specify unpackaged dimensions, only when they are relevant to the item synchronization process (i.e. large appliances that are shipped packaged but displayed on the retail floor unpackaged).

This segment is only valid for GTINs with one of the following qualifiers: EN, EO, UP.

Only one RETAIL PRICE ON TRADE ITEM value/currency combination is supported per GTIN. No trading partners or dates can be associated with this attribute.

Trading Partner-specific prices may be communicated by repeating the CTP loop, including the price value in the CTP03 and the trading partner's Inovis Catalogue Account Number in the REF segment of this loop. For Global Data Synchronization Network (GDS Network) trading partners (non-Inovis retailers), specify the trading partner’s Global Location Number (GLN) in the REF segment. If multiple trading partners are to be assigned the same price, the REF segment in this loop may be repeated without a new CTP segment to communicate each trading partner's Inovis Catalogue Account Number or GLN to be associated with that price.

Use the DTM segment in this loop to specify EFFECTIVE or EXPIRATION DATES for the UNIT COST or MSRP in the CTP03.

Assigning the same price to multiple trading partners by repeating the REF segment in this loop means that any EFFECTIVE or EXPIRATION DATES for that price, if provided in the DTM, must also be the same for each trading partner. Dates are not required.

If any part of the price configuration, whether it be the price value, the currency, the effective date, or the expiration date, varies between trading partners, send a new occurrence of the CTP loop to ensure that correct values are communicated to each trading partner.

Notes: Inovis Note: The association of a trading partner with a specific price applies only to the attribute UNIT COST. MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE and RETAIL PRICE ON TRADE ITEM values are always considered public values and cannot be associated with trading partners.

If multiple trading partners are to be assigned the same price, this segment may be repeated without a new CTP segment to communicate each trading partner's Inovis Catalogue Account Number or GDS network GLN to be associated with that price.

Assigning the same price to multiple trading partners by repeating the this segment means that any EFFECTIVE or EXPIRATION DATES for the price, if provided in the DTM, must also be the same for each trading partner.

If any part of the price configuration, whether it be the price value, the currency, the effective date, or the expiration date, varies between trading partners, send a new occurrence of the CTP loop to ensure that correct values are communicated to each trading partner.

Prepacks, setpacks, and packaging containers are identified in the LIN segment. To specify the contents of a packaging container, use the SLN segment with code I in SLN03. When changing the contents of an existing packaging container, use SLN03=D or I to delete an existing GTIN from or include a new GTIN in the packaging container, respectively.

The SLN segment cannot be used to add GTINs to the catalogue. GTINs to be included as part of a prepack, setpack or other packaging container must have already been added to the catalogue, either in a previous LIN or a previous transaction.

Up to 100 component GTINs are supported per container.

For a GTIN to accept component relationship assignments, it must have a prepack/container code of CA, DS, IP, MP, MX, PC, PL, PU, or SP. This includes master and inner packs. Prepack designation must be indicated at the time the GTIN is first added to the Catalogue. Refer to the PID segment, specifically the PID04, for further instructions.

No more than three total levels of packaging containment may exist in the Catalogue. This means that a container may have another container as a component, but that container may not have other containers as components. In other words, the GTINs at the lowest level of a three-level packaging hierarchy may not have a prepack/container code of CA, DS, IP, MP, MX, PC,PL, PU, or SP.

If the GTIN given in this LIN loop is a replacement for another GTIN, use SLN03=S and specify the GTIN that is being replaced in SLN09/10 (if not already provided in either the G55 or G39 segments).

GTIN Number Structures A

he following are the required number structures for GTIN types supported by Inovis Catalogue 4.x. The GS1 (formerly EAN/UCC) Company Prefix and Item or Case Reference identifiers can be of varying length, which is indicated in the diagrams

below by arrows.

Note: GTIN Type must be upper case.

The following are the number structures for GTIN types supported by Inovis Catalogue.

UP: UCC-12 (UPC Consumer Package Code)

Primary GTIN type used in North America. Typically used for a consumer unit. A UPC is a 12-digit Universal Product Code that uniquely identifies a consumer unit. It uses Modulo-10 calculation.

EN: EAN/UCC-13 (European Article Number)

Primary GTIN type used outside of North America. Typically used for a consumer unit. This EAN is a 13-digit code that uniquely identifies a consumer unit. It uses Modulo-10 calculation.

EO: EAN/UCC-8 (European Article Number)

Used outside of North America. Can be either a vendor- or consumer-sellable unit. This EAN is an 8-digit code used to identify a consumer unit. Assigned directly by the EAN Member Organization of that country for products that have limited barcode space. It uses Modulo-10 calculation.

UK: EAN/UCC-14 (Shipping Container Code)

Vendor sellable only. A EAN/UCC Shipping Container Code is a 14-digit code that uniquely identifies the manufacturer’s shipping unit (case, module, or pallet), i.e., the product and package quantity. Previously also known as SCC-14. It uses Modulo-10 calculation.

Check Digit Calculations B

novis Catalogue uses the following formula to calculate the check digit (i.e., the last digit) of a GTIN. It is the formula used by GS1 US (formerly, the Uniform Code Council (UCC)). To use this formula, all digits except the check digit must already be known.

Note: Use the GS1 US Web-based Check Digit Calculator to quickly find a check digit. Click the following link:

http://www.uc-council.org/checkdig.htm

Sample: Check digit calculation for the 13-digit EAN/UCC field

In the sample, the check digit is 3. The full GTIN is thus 6291041500213.

EAN/UCC-14 N1 N2 N3 N4 N5 N6 N7 N8 N9 N10 N11 N12 N13 N14

Step 1: Multiply value of each position by:

x3 x1 x3 x1 x3 x1 x3 x1 x3 x1 x3 x1 x3

Step 2: Add the results to determine the sum

Step 3: Subtract sum from the next highest multiple of ten to determine the check digit

Attribute Locations C

he following table lists all supported data attributes in Inovis Catalogue and their EDI 832 element locations. More information about data attributes is available in the Inovis Catalogue Attributes Guide.

In the table below, columns from left indicate:

■ UI Display Name—Attribute name as it appears in the browser interface

■ Format and Validation:

■ CHAR—Alphanumeric value; number indicates maximum number of characters (if applicable, a list of acceptable values for the attribute appears in mapping guidelines)

■ NUMBER—Numeric value; one number indicates maximum number of digits, no decimal allowed; second number, if any, indicates maximum number of digits to right of decimal

■ DATE—CCYYMMDD is only allowable date format

■ UOM – “0” = no UOM for the attribute; “EA” = Each; “LIST” = attribute requires UOM value from list of acceptable values in mapping guidelines.

■ Multiline – “0” = attribute is not multiline; number = attribute is multiline (where number indicates maximum number of iterations allowed); * = the UNIT COST and MSRP attributes are sent in the CTP segment. The CTP loop allows up to 100 occurrences, so the maximum number of UNIT COST and MSRP occurrences combined in an 832 is 100 (for example, 95 UNIT COSTs and 5 MSRPs).
