Implementing WebSphere Business Integration Express for Item Synchronization

10 Implementing WebSphere BI Express for Item Synchronization

What would be needed here is the use the Indicator digit to make unique GTINs

Each: GTIN 0001234569999N

Case: GTIN 301234569999N

Pallet: GIN 701234569999N

A good GTIN calculator can be found at:

1.3.4 Target Market (TM)

The target market is the ISO country code (such as 840 for the United States),

and it indicates where the product is available.

1.3.5 UCCnet Key

The key information that must be sent to UCCnet to uniquely identify each item is

a combination of the GTIN:GLN:TM.

This is a unique

key, if you will, to each individual item in the registry. It also

enables a GTIN to be added multiple times (for example: for a different target

markets like the United States and Australia) or for a different warehouse

location (for example: using different GLNs for the same corporation but

individual warehouse locations).

The GTIN always remains the same for the same item, but the combination of

the three key values allows for maximum flexibility.

1.4 Current item exchange

Figure 1-2 on page 11 illustrates how suppliers and retailers currently exchange

item information.

Note: In this case, the check digit on the case and pallet would change due to

the added Indicator digit.
