For GSMP/GDSN Business Requirements Group (BRG) members who are eligible to vote, the following eBallots have been posted in the GS1 Community Room:

CR 07-434 Hierarchical Withdrawal Business Requirements Analysis Document

Proposal: GDSN BRG has launched this CR 07-434 Hierarchical Withdrawal BRAD eBallot even though this BRAD originated from a GDSN 2008-2009 Roadmap Approved Project Work Group as this BRAD will affect most GDSN member companies. The method in which a publication withdraw is communicated to a data recipient within the network is overly complicated due to the current requirements of item data being present when sending the GDSN CIN DELETE message for a simple change to the hierarchy. Schema validations and other validations require a substantial amount of data to be sent for a simple change in hierarchy.  As result of this complexity, delays can occur in withdrawing an item within the GDSN. This will allow changes to be made more quickly. The purpose of this BRAD is to outline the requirements necessary for more efficient withdrawing of a trade item wi  thin the GDSN.

CR 09-155  - Identify single Tunnel Restriction Code in dangerous goods class of attributes

Proposal:  Enable the ability to optionally identify a single Tunnel Restriction Code in the dangerous goods class of attributes. In ADR Chapter 8.6, road tunnels are divided into categories A to E. Adequate traffic signs regulate the transit of vehicles with dangerous goods. The tunnel restriction code (e.g. E) has to be stated within the transport papers. The ADR Tunnel Restriction Code List is attached. If a new attribute is created, it would be Global, would apply to all levels of a hierarchical configuration and should have the same value for all levels. The interim deployment of an attribute using the Fast Track AVP data extension is also requested. Simple LOI 2
