Standard for Trade Item Information | Logistic information for building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors

1. IntroductionThe purpose of this document is to provide a common platform for logistic informa-

tion for the building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors using GS1’s international

standard for trade item information, “GDSN Trade Item”. The document has been

prepared by GS1 Sweden in collaboration with Logiq/Finfo, Svenska Rörgrossist-

föreningen VVS, the Swedish Electrical Wholesalers Federation and the Association

of Swedish Building Materials and Hardware Merchants through project Vilma.

The document starts with a list of attributes which the building, electrical,

HVAC and plumbing sectors have agreed constitute logistic information. This is

followed by an analysis and clarification of some of these attributes. Further

information about GS1’s standard for Trade Item Information can be found at

www.gs1.se/en/GS1-in-practice/Trade-Item-Information.

3. Trade item identificationThe Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) provides globally unique identification for

each individual package. The building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors

historically use article numbers allocated by their respective sector. This means that

the same package can have a GTIN and one or more sector-specific article numbers.

An item can even be numbered with an article number allocated by the supplier or

manufacturer.

3.1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)Throughout this document the term trade item is used according to GS1’s definition: “A trade item is any item (product or service) upon which there is a need to re-trieve pre-defined information and that may be priced, ordered, or invoiced between trading partners at any point in the supply chain.” The definition covers items and services from raw materials to finished product all of which have pre-defined attributes.

The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) is used to provide trade items, packages and services with a unique identification. By encoding the GTIN in a bar-code, the number can be read with a scanner. The item number can also be used to access further information about the item in a database.

Every item which differs from another item intentio-nally by design and/or content must be given a unique item number. This means that every level in an article hierarchy must have a unique GTIN.

When an item is identified with a GTIN it gets a globally unique trade item number which is never the same as an item number from another supplier. This means that two items can never be confused which simplifies ordering and, for example, production of sales statistics.

3.2 Sector-specific article numberThe building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors have three databases which allocate article numbers for retail items distributed in part through wholesalers in Sweden. One and the same item can have several sector-specific numbers.

• E-number – The item number according to the Swedish Electrical Wholesalers Federation’s (SEG) numbering system. Read more about E-numbers at http://www.seg.se/sv/E-nummerbanken/

• RSK-number – The item number in the RSK database, a Swedish product catalogue for HVAC and plumbing items. Read more about RSK numbers at http://www.rskdatabasen.se/

• Finfo-number – The item number in the Finfo database, a Swedish product catalogue for building materials. Read more about Finfo numbers at http://www2.finfo.se/

The table gives examples of how an item hierarchy is numbered with E-numbers, RSK-numbers and Finfo-numbers.

4. Trade item levelsWhen trade takes place between a supplier and a buyer (e.g. manufacturer and

wholesaler), the buyer needs information about all trade items and the relation

between items that are contained in others. This relation is described by specifying

at which level in a hierarchy the item occurs. A trade item can be at three different

levels, base (or each), case and pallet.

4.1 Base levelThe base level is the lowest in a hierarchy. An item at the base level contains no items identified with a GTIN (children). A trade item at the base level is always con-tained in another item (parent) which can be a case or a pallet. Examples of an item at the base level are a bag of charcoal or a bottle of glue.

A trade item hierarchy can include several items at the base level, for example a multipack or co-packed items containing different products, or if the hierarchy describes a mixed display unit.

4.2 Case levelThe case level is the middle level in a trade item hier-archy. A trade item at case level contains other items (children) and is itself contained in an item (parent). A trade item at case level can contain other items at base level or other items at case level. An example of an item at case level is a box with 6 bottles of glue or a package with 10 shrink-wrapped planks. There can be several case levels in a trade item hierarchy.

Sometimes the case level is not used, for example if the base unit is large. An example is bags of charcoal, where the pallet is displayed directly in the store.

4.3 Pallet levelThe pallet level is the highest in a trade item hierarchy. A trade item at pallet level contains other items (children) but is not itself contained in another item. It is not necessary for every item hierarchy to include an item at pallet level. Pallet level is only used when a top level is present in the hierarchy. Examples of a trade item at pallet level are a pallet with boxes of screws or a drum of electrical cable.

6. Trade item hierarchiesTrade Item Information describes a complete trade item hierarchy. This means

specifying every item contained at the base, case and pallet levels as well as the

relation between these. For each item at the pallet and case levels the item

contained at the next lower level of the hierarchy must be specified.

6.1 Trade item hierarchy, example 1A consumer unit is a trade item intended for sale to a consumer or end-user.

• Car shampoo (GTIN 1), 1 piece• Car wax (GTIN 2), 1 piece• Sponge (GTIN 3), 2 pieces

For the outer package the trade item hierarchy is specified as follows in the groups Package hierarchy and Trade item hierarchy.

6.1.1 Package hierarchy

Quantity of children = 3 (GTIN 1 + GTIN 2 + GTIN 3)Total quantity of next lower level trade item = 4 (1 + 1 + 2)

6.1.2 Trade item hierarchy

Included item or service, GTIN = GTIN 1Number of units included = 1

Included item or service, GTIN = GTIN 2Number of units included = 1

Included item or service, GTIN = GTIN 3Number of units included = 2

6.2 Trade item hierarchy, 2A box of hammers.

• Hammer (GTIN 1), 16 pieces

The trade item hierarchy for this homogenous case is described as follows:

6.2.1 Package hierarchy

Quantity of children = 1 (GTIN 1)Total quantity of next lower level trade item = 16

6.2.2 Trade item hierarchy

Included item or service, GTIN = GTIN 1Number of units included = 16

The outer package in the first example contains of one bottle of car shampoo, one bottle of car wax and two sponges.

Standard for Trade Item Information | Logistic information for building, electrical, HVAC and plumbing sectors

7. Trade item statusA trade item can have a number of attributes related to how it is intended to be

sold and distributed at various stages of the supply chain. Every trade item can

have the attributes consumer unit, orderable unit or logistic unit.

7.1 Consumer unitA consumer unit is a trade item intended for sale to a consumer or end-user.

7.2 Orderable unitAn orderable unit is a trade item that is ordered from a supplier by a wholesaler, store or similar. Every trade item hierarchy has an orderable unit. (In certain excep-tional cases there can be several orderable units in the same hierarchy).

7.3 Despatch unitA despatch unit is that trade item, usually a pallet, which is physically delivered from the supplier to the customer. There must always be at least one item in a hierarchy that is a despatch unit. Usually the trade item at the pallet level is the despatch unit.

Note that the same trade item can have several of these attributes:

An item that is a consumer unit can also be orderable (for physically large consumer units there is sometimes no item at case level).

An orderable unit can also be a despatch unit (e.g. a display pallet).
