09-264 eBallot, GDSN BRG - Enable GDSN data recipients to calculate comparative price for a daily dose

Currently a set of attributes in Trade Item can be used to indicate a measurement that is used for calculation of comparison prices, i.e. for display on shelf labels. The definition of priceComparisonMeasurement is ”The quantity of the product at usage. Applicable for concentrated products and products where the comparison price is calculated based on a measurement other than netContent. This field is dependent on the population of priceComparisonContentType and is required when priceComparisonContentType is used.” Some examples of current values for priceComparisonContentType are:

* PER_DOSE Specified using PCE as unit of measure.
* PER_KILOGRAM Specified using GRM as unitOfMeasure (price per kg).
* PER_LITRE Specified using MLT as unitOfMeasure (price per litre).
* PER_LOAD Specified using PCE as unit of measure (price per load - used for washing
                       powder).
* PER_METRE Specified using MMT as unitOfMeasure

Proposal: There is a need to enable data recipients in GDSN to calculate comparative price for a daily dose. To achieve this data sources must be able to indicate the price comparison content expressed as number of daily doses.  A proposed solution is to add the following code value to PriceComparisonContentTypeList: PER_DAILY_DOSE -specified using PCE as unit of measure (price per daily dose).
