Creating GTINs

Select .

On the Item List tab, open an item record.

On the GTINs tab, click Create.

Specify this information:

GTIN: Specify the GTIN format for this trade item. When creating the GTIN from a bar code, the GTIN is only a portion of the entire bar code. In GS1-128 bar codes, the solution identifier of 01 precedes the GTIN and other fields, such as the weight, must follow.
Description: Provide the brand owner's item-specific description of the product.
GTIN Structure: Select the GTIN structure. Valid values are GTIN 8, GTIN 12, GTIN 13, or GTIN 14.
Unit of Measure: In transactions with vendor items, the unit of measure (UOM), manufacturing code and division, and manufacturing number must match the UOM, manufacturing information and number. Otherwise, the UOM, manufacturing code and division, and manufacturing number in the transaction line or in the item location are used to find the correct GTIN.

Manufacturer Information: Select the manufacturer code. This code represents the manufacturer of the item.
Bar Code Type: Select a bar code type.
Brand Name: Specify the consumer-recognized name that is used by the brand owner to uniquely identify a line of trade items or services.
Functional Name: Provide a description of the way in which the product or service is used by the consumer.
Abbreviated Description: Provide an abbreviated description to identify the trade item at the point-of-sale or robotic distribution systems.
Effective Date: Select the date and time that the master data version information is valid.
Date Available: Select the date and time that the trade item is available from the supplier.
Publication Date: Select the date and time on which the associated static data is available for viewing and synchronization.
UNSPSC Code: The UNSPSC Code is a standard product classification scheme used in the U.S. only.

On the Measurements tab, specify this information:

Height: Specify the vertical dimension from lowest to highest, including packaging. At a pallet level, the trade item height includes the height of the pallet.
Width: Specify the width measurement of the item.
Depth: Specify the depth measurement of the item.
Gross Weight: The gross weight includes the packaging materials of the trade item. At the pallet level, the trade item gross weight includes the weight of the pallet.
Net Weight: Specify the net weight of the trade item. The net weight applies to all levels except for the base level. The net weight excludes the packaging materials of the trade item. For the base unit, the net content measure replaces the net weight.
Net Content: Specify the amount of the trade item that is contained by a package, usually as claimed on the label. In the case of multi-packs, the label shows the net content of the total trade item. For fixed value trade items, the value is claimed on the package.
Use net content to avoid variable fill rate issues. Fill rate issues can arise with some trade items that are sold by volume or weight. The content can vary slightly from batch to batch. In variable quantity trade items, net content indicates the average quantity. The net content must be associated with a valid UOM.
