6 When beginning a Data Collection for a new Recipient, check your Account Preferences. New Recipients will sometime feature Additional Attribute Views that help you focus your collection efforts. Your Account Preferences page also allows you to access your Company Dictionary, manage your Brand, Manufacturer & Supplier Lists, Pre-Authorize Recipients and more. 1. Click the Gear Icon in the upper right corner of the page and select Supplier Preferences. 2. Additional Attribute Views are available in the top right panel 3. To add any View, check the box 4. Click Save Additional Views & Confirm

7 If you are involved with a Data Collection, Edgenet will typically apply a Claim Code to your account. This is a bulk item request from your Distributor or Retailer. For new users, who do not yet have products in the system, it generates New Product Requests. Any requests for products you have already loaded into the system are marked as Pending Subscriptions. To access either of these product sets, click the respective link under the Next Steps panel on the Home page. If you received a Claim Code from Edgenet, redeeming that Claim Code will generate your New Product Requests and Pending Subscriptions. 1. In Add Product Data menu, select the Claim Code option 2. Users who receive s with claim codes can launch the window

8 3. Enter the claim code (we suggest Copy & Paste, for ease and accuracy) to display the details within the Claim Code, including Data Recipient, # of Requests, # of Existing Products, and # of New Items 4. Click Redeem Claim Code to advance These items from the redeemed Claim Code are now as New Product Requests or Pending Subscriptions Tip: If you are reviewing a large number of New Product Requests, you can download this product set into an XML Smart Spreadsheet Requests When a retailer or distributor wants data on an item not currently in the system, they can request it. 1. Notification of New Product Requests appear in your Next Steps menu as New Product Requests 2. Access these requests directly by clicking the New Product Requests link in the Next Steps panel or through the Requests button on the navigation bar

9 3. Use the Recipients Filter to narrow results to specific Retailers or Distributors 4. Use the toolbar on the left of your screen to manage your new product requests. The checkmark icon represents Approve, the envelope with the crossout icon represents reject and the spreadsheet plus icon represent exporting to a smart spreadsheet

10 5. Approve new item requests only if you intend to enter the product into the system. Any data provided by the requesting recipient will be automatically added to the item record 6. If you choose to reject the New Product Request, you will be required to provide a reason for rejection, which will be delivered to the requesting recipient 7. Once approved, the Single or Bulk Item Edit Page will open, depending on the quantity selected. This allows you the option to continue entering data or to Save your progress

11 a. Tip: Most users save their progress at this point and work in Smart Spreadsheets once they have approved the Pending Subscription 8. Most approved New Product Requests automatically become Pending Subscriptions a. Note, if you have pre-authorized the recipient, the products will be subscribed to by the recipient and will be available on the products page. Pending subscriptions represent recipient requests for access to data on a product that already exists in the Supplier Portal. You can access Pending Subscriptions by clicking the link on the homepage under Next Steps>Pending subscriptions or clicking on Products in the top navigation bar and filtering by Pending under the Subscription filter. 1. Upon filtering, if the product or recipient you seek is not visible, use the Filters to narrow results. 2. Select the items you wish to update, then click the desired function from the Action Bar on the left side of the Product Grid: a. Approve has a check mark icon i. Approve Pending Subscriptions only if you want to activate the Recipient s subscription and provide that product data.

12 b. Reject has a crossed-out circle icon. Tip: For quick access to those newly approved product subscriptions and even add more products, download a Smart Spreadsheet. Select all products you wish to work on and click the Export Selected Items to Smart Spreadsheet icon. The spreadsheet with a plus sign on the Action Bar on the left of your screen. The following prompts are detailed in the Export Smart Spreadsheet section. You can enter any additional or unrequested products into the application individually, or in bulk. However, the most popular method for loading data is through our Smart Spreadsheets. All three

13 of these options are available from the Add Product Data dropdown in the Next Steps panel on the Home page. 1. Select Add single product from the dropdown 2. Enter the Unique Product ID, Product Name, select the Recipients & click Continue 3. Launches the Single Item Edit page 4. Save your progress or continue to populate the data using Single Item Edit 1. Select Add more than one product (bulk) from the dropdown 2. Launches the Bulk Item Edit page 3. Click the Plus button to add more products, entering the Unique Product ID at minimum 4. Save your progress or continue to populate the data using Bulk Item Edit

14 Tip: You can add new or unrequested products to ANY Smart Spreadsheet! Smart Spreadsheets are our most popular tool not only for adding products, but also for manipulating, and exporting data. Now you can customize your Smart Spreadsheets even further. Add or remove Recipients, Classes, Attribute Views and even Global Data, allowing you to be as broad or as focused as you want to be. Adding products through Smart Spreadsheets offer you two paths. 1. All in One Shot a. Good for low item counts, with few product categories b. Several Required Attributes are shared across Smart Spreadsheet tabs, giving the illusion of additional work c. Item Categories can be more difficult to determine so early in the process 2. Stages, using the Global Data to begin the Item Record a. Better for large item counts, with many product categories b. Populates shared Required Attributes on subsequent Smart Spreadsheet downloads c. Categorizing items in the Bulk Item Edit page is the most efficient way d. Category Specific Smart Spreadsheets can be generated without the Global tabs

15 *The following steps are for downloading a blank Smart Spreadsheet. If you are ready to Export your Pending Subscriptions to a Smart Spreadsheet see the Export Smart Spreadsheet section. Download 1. From the Supplier Portal Homepage, click on the Add Product Data menu and select the Download a Blank Excel (Smart) Spreadsheet Template option. 2. Next select the attribute sets to include in your Smart Spreadsheet. Simply uncheck the box to remove any of the Attribute Sets from your Smart Spreadsheet. Any or all of the following Recipient, General, Classification/Category and Special Purpose Attribute Sets can be added or removed.

16 3. To update or view your included Recipients, click the Review or Add button to the right of Recipients a. To add a Recipient, select the Recipient on the left and click the right arrow b. To remove a Recipient, select the Recipient on the right and click the left arrow c. The double arrows will Add or Remove all Recipients 4. To update or view your included Classifications, click the Review or Add button to the right of Classifications. Add or remove your desired Classes and click Continue a. To add Category Attributes, locate the product category using Search or Browse the Edgenet s Master Class Taxonomy. Then simply click the category to add it to the download b. To remove Categories, click the Blue Trash Can next to the Category*

17 *This only removes the attribute set from the Smart Spreadsheet; it does not delete your products from that class. Tip: Although each Smart Spreadsheet can accommodate up to 1000 different categories, each category will appear as a separate Excel-style tab. Be mindful that too many categories can create unnecessary clutter and confusion. 5. Next, save the Smart Spreadsheet.ZIP using a name and location that can be easily located Spreadsheets Smart Spreadsheets are not Excel files. They are XML files displayed in an Excel interface. It is important to save the file as an XML document to maintain the integrity of the system links and formatting. The tabs are color coded by data type: Yellow Tabs: Core Marketing or Global Data, as well as GDSN Data tabs are colored in. Blue Tabs: Class or Category Data Red Tabs: Recipient Data Gray Tabs: Reference Data, 3 tabs included on every Smart Spreadsheet Table of Contents (First Tab): outlines and hyperlinks each Attribute Set Reference (2 nd Last Tab): The Reference tab details each attribute within the Smart Spreadsheet, broken out by tab. In addition to formatting specifics, the Attribute Names are located in column E and column F provides the full Help Text of the Attribute.

18 Copyright (Last Tab Tip: Check the Reference tab if you have a question about the definition or format of an attribute within the spreadsheet Depending upon the Attribute Sets included, your sheet may not have all 4 colored tabs. Each Smart Spreadsheet is unique, including only the Attribute Sets selected during the export. To work in your Smart Spreadsheet: 1. Open, unzip, and extract the compressed.zip file, which contains an XML format file. This format will open and be editable in Microsoft Excel. 2. After opening the blank template, click the Enable Editing button near the top of the Excel sheet.

19 Best Practice: Save the XML Smart Spreadsheet file using a name and location that can be easily located later 3. Using the ToC, Reference tab and the tips below, populate/complete the appropriate attributes in each tab with your product data. a. Row 7 in the data tabs notes Attribute Status as Required or Optional Digital Asset Linking Tip: The fastest way to link Digital Assets is with Smart Spreadsheets. Whether it is an image, video, manual or planogram, paste/enter the entire file name, including the extension, into the respective Attribute. When uploaded, the system automatically links all the populated Digital Assets. *Digital Asset must be loaded into the system before Smart Spreadsheet upload *File names must be exact and include the extension i.e..jpg,.tif,.gif,.mp4,.mov,.wmv,.pdf, etc.

20 4. Save the XML Smart Spreadsheet file using a name and location that can be easily located later 1. Paste using the ctrl+alt+v shortcut to Paste Special and select Text or Value 2. Use the ctrl+d shortcut to Copy Down 3. Link Digital Assets by entering entire file name in representative attribute 4. Row 7 displays Attribute status as Required or Optional a. Populating Optional Attributes enhances your product data and product score 5. New/unrequested products can be added to any Smart Spreadsheet 6. Hiding & Highlighting columns can be helpful 7. Do not rearrange or Move any columns or tabs in a Smart Spreadsheet 8. Do not Delete any columns or tabs from a Smart Spreadsheet 9. Smart Spreadsheets MUST be saved as XML files 10. Close the file before uploading

21 Your Digital Asset Gallery is available from anywhere in the system using the Digital Assets button on the Navigation Bar. Digital Assets consist of images, multimedia and textual content files. In the context of your product data, this could include (but is not limited to) product images, assembly & review videos, specification pages, manuals, Material Safety Data sheets, product brochures, lifestyle & detailed product images, planograms... You get the point. Each product is required to have at least one Main Product Image. This image must be of the product on a plain while background and a minimum of 1000 pixels on one side. Other Digital Assets are Optional, but we recommend adding as many as you can, as these assets will help sell more products online. You can upload Digital Assets by selecting one at a time, many at a time or by grouping multiple assets in a ZIP file. The larger the file, take more time it will take. MAX upload size at one time is 2 GB (2,000 MB) in a ZIP file. The time this takes will depend on your upload speed/bandwidth. If your upload speed is less than 1.00 Mbps, do fewer assets at a time. While you can upload assets in the format of your choice, Edgenet recommends: Image files in JPG format Document files in PDF format (make sure your PDF files are not password protected) Video files in MP4 format Use the Basic Search and Advanced Search functions to narrow your Digital Asset results. It also shows the number of assets within the system s gallery and the accompanying Asset Grid. Assets

22 1. On the Digital Assets page, select the Upload Assets button 2. Navigate/browse to the files for upload and click Open 3. The new files will then display in your gallery 1. On the Digital Assets page, select the Digital Assets marked for deletion 2. Click the Delete Selected button a. Unlinked Digital Assets will be immediately deleted b. If you attempt to Delete a Digital Asset that is linked to a product, the system will provide a warning giving you the option to Delete, Cancel or View the linked products c. Deleting a Linked Digital Asset, only deletes the Asset file. It not Delete the Product itself Digital Assets linking functions identically on both the Single and Bulk Item Edit pages. Some feel the most efficient way to link is through Smart Spreadsheets.

23 Single Item Edit Linking: 1. From the Single Item Edit page, navigate to the Digital Assets screen 2. Select the Attribute you would like to populate/link 3. Click the image in the Digital Asset gallery to link 4. To remove the link, click the Blue Trash Can a. This only deletes the link, not the product or the asset

24 Bulk Item Edit Linking: 1. From the Bulk Item Edit page, navigate to the Digital Assets screen 2. Select the Attribute you would like to populate/link 3. Click the image in the Digital Asset gallery to link 4. To remove the link, click the Blue Trash Can a. This only deletes the link, not the product or the asset Smart Spreadsheet Linking: 1. Enter the entire file name, including the extension, into the respective Attribute

25 2. System links Product & Digital Asset upon Smart Spreadsheet upload *Digital Asset must be loaded into the system before Smart Spreadsheet upload *File names must be exact and include the extension i.e..jpg,.tif,.gif,.mp4,.mov,.wmv,.pdf, etc. See the Working with Smart Spreadsheets section for additional information. You can edit products in the application individually, in bulk or you can export products to edit in our Smart Spreadsheets. All three options are available on the Products page. Edgenet s Data Quality Engine performs 1000 s of checks and validations to ensure your product record is not only complete, but also compliant with your Recipient s data requirements. This is most apparent in the Data Quality Score. Most Recipients require a minimum score of 75, most notable exceptions include GDSN & Lowe s. If you have a product that is only being sent to Recipients who do not require a minimum Data Quality Score, it will not be displayed in your product views. The Data Quality Score is based upon checks and validations applied to the product s Global & Category Specific Data. Private Recipient Data is also checked and validated, however it does not factor in to the Score. Tip: Increase your Data Quality Score by completing optional attributes and adding additional digital assets. Spreadsheet

26 After completing your product data entry offline and uploading your Digital Assets, it is time to upload your Smart Spreadsheet. You can begin this process from your homepage or the products page through the Add Product Data menu. 1. From the Upload dialog, press Select Sheet button to upload the file back into the Supplier Portal. 2. Browse and select the appropriate Smart Spreadsheet XML file to upload from your computer. 3.

Review your data, update and validate remaining data attribute fields, checking for requirements and errors. a. Showstoppers occur when products lack fundamental information, such as unique IDs. You cannot Save or Certify and Send until these showstopper errors are properly resolved. b. Critical Errors refer to missing required attributes or incorrect formatting. You can Save your progress, but the product will not reach a Data Quality score of 75, the recommended score for certifying and sending to recipients.

27 c. Warnings broadly consist of improper data entry, including spelling, punctuation, dimension, or abbreviation mistakes. While Warnings do not prevent user actions, correcting these minor errors will raise the overall product Data Quality score. 6. Once you have reached a data quality score of 75 or greater and removed all Critical Errors, then Save to secure these products within your existing catalog. 7. When finished and ready to proceed, please click Certify & Send to share product data with authorized recipients. During maintenance mode, if you want to edit single products versus many, the single item edit page is the recommended feature. From the Products page, select the item you would like to edit and click the edit icon in the left navigation panel. You may also select add a single product from the Add Product Data dropdown to add one new product at a time.

28 1. When adding a new product from the Add Single product selection, the pop-up menu will prompt you to enter essential product details, including Name, GTIN, and Authorized Recipients for the product data. 2. If you cannot locate the product s GTIN, use the Help Me Create button. 3.

35 Helpful hints: Sort by description or product name to classify in groups Search on singular terms (Trimmer vs Trimmers) Try alternative industry terms (Trimmer, Lopper, Pruner, Clipper, Cutter) Consider broader categories and narrow search from there (i.e. adapters, connectors) Copy down category for products 1. Ensure that the Data Quality score is 75 or above. 2. Review Data Quality graph and progress bars, checking for correctness and completeness.

36 3. Fulfill all required attributes (global, category, and recipient data), then press Save. 4. Ensure there is an active subscription.

37 5. Certify & Send a. From the Bulk Item Edit page, highlight multiple items by hitting the Ctrl key and selecting products, then click the Certify and Send button to Certify in batches. b. From the Single Item Edit page, Certify a product individually by clicking the Certify and Send button from the Products page, select one or more products and click the Certify and Send icon. Data for products that are no longer manufactured are unlikely to change. Make sure the recipients have the latest data, then click Discontinue from the Action Bar. 1. Set the Discontinue dates for all selected products, provided none are currently discontinued. 2. The selected products will automatically Discontinue on the given date. 3. Data for discontinued products will continue to be sent to recipients until deletion date. To conclude the product lifecycle and terminate data transmission, select Delete. 1. Set delete dates for selected products. 2. Delete dates must be set for at least 7 days after discontinue. 3. This minimum 7-day cushion helps users avoid clerical mistakes regarding permanent product data removal. 4. The gap between Discontinue and Delete also provides ample time to notify any Retailers or Distributors connected to your product catalog system that this product data will no longer be available.

38 Active Subscriptions can be canceled to avoid sending new updates to the recipient. Discontinue and Delete will do this automatically. The prompt will require a reason for rejecting the request, which we will convey to the recipient. GDSN (Global Data Synchronization Network ) is a network of interoperable data pools. A data pool is a centralized data repository where all necessary information is managed to synchronize product data between trading partners. The GS1 Global Registry is a directory for the registration of unique catalog items and parties. GDSN data consists of logistical information about an item, including size, weight, dimensions and key shipping and receiving information. GDSN data is registered in the form of a catalog item. Catalog items can be of any packaging level, such as each, case or pallet. The data associated with catalog items is used in ordering and shipping systems to manage supply chain information with your trading partners. You can manage your GDSN alongside your Commerce/Marketing data within the Supplier Portal and utilize the GDSN interface for registering your party, items, publishing items and managing GDSN subscriptions. To enter your GDSN data, you can use any of the previously discussed methods: single item edit, bulk item edit, or Smart Spreadsheets. GDSN attributes can be found in a couple of locations within the Supplier Portal. In the Single Items Edit Core Product Data view, you can toggle to GDSN in the drop down at the top of the form. In Bulk Edit, GDSN attributes can be found in specific views under Recipient Data.

39 1. Finally, you can export GDSN attributes into a Smart Spreadsheet and import back into the system as described in the above Smart Spreadsheet sections. 2. Select appropriate GDSN views for the end point you are working with or general. For example, GDSN Mandatory for CIN. Packaging hierarchy will also need to be completed.

40 Packaging hierarchy defines how products are packaged and related to each other. Packaging hierarchy is defined through setting Trade Item Unit and relating Parents to Child items. For example, a base item is an Each item and it may have a Case parent, which may also have a Pallet parent. When designing packaging hierarchy, you must define the parent-child relationships along with the appropriate quantities. For example, there are 6 Each items in a Case; 10 Case items in a Pallet etc. You can designate packaging hierarchy through a tab within a Smart Spreadsheet or through the GDSN user interface.

41 First, you must register your GLN with the Global Registry; this is called Party registration. To do this, simply go to the GDSN tab in Supplier Portal, navigate to the Party Details page, update your account and contact information. When complete, click the Register Party button at the bottom and this will trigger a notification from Edgenet to the GS1 Global Registry to register your GLN.

42 Next, in order to receive GDSN subscriptions from your recipients you must first register your items. To register your items with the Global Registry, you can navigate to the GDSN Items page to see your full list of items. Select the items you wish to register then Choose Action as Register then click Go.

43 Finally, the last step to synchronize data with the network is to choose the items you wish to publish. 1. Within the GDSN Items page, select the Choose Action as Publish

44 2. Select the recipients to whom you wish to publish: SUPPLIER PORTAL USER GUIDE

45 3. At this time, your item information will be validated against the standard GDSN validations and feedback will be provided. If updates need to be made, you will see a validation report. 4. Return to the Supplier Portal to edit your product information before submitting for publication. CIC reports can be accessed by clicking on the CIC Reports tab. These reports provide item confirmations or status by retailer. If the item has been rejected, requested corrective actions will be provided.
