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 e-mails with claim codes can launch the window

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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