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

10-001 eBallot, GDSN BRG

The eBallot for CR 10-001 if motioned to eBallot by the GDSN BRG on Mar-9-2010 should begin Mar-10-2010 and ends Mar-24-2010. 001 Proposal: Add an optional attribute to the Incoterms Subclass currently in the Price message; this attribute will support the ISO country code in which the Incoterms action occurs. This subclass will then be added to core item. Interim deployment as a Fast Track attribute is requested. Expected Benefits: This attribute is needed to determine who will be responsible for customs, tariffs, and other associated responsibilities of importing the trade item. This can be different by Trading Partner. Risks: The retailer needs this information in order to determine which party is responsible for customs, tariffs, and other associated responsibilities of importing a trade item. Business Function/Purpose: This is needed to help describe at what point in the supply chain the retailer has taken ownership of a trade item to determine whether or not the Trade It  em is considered to be imported on behalf of the retail or the vendor. Example: If the product is manufactured in China, then the Origin Country would reflect China, but if the Vendor imports the item to United States and a United States retailer takes ownership of Trade item in United States, then Trade Item Export Country of Origin would be United States. This attribute is needed to determine who will be responsible for customs, tariffs, and other associated responsibilities of importing the trade item. This can be different by Trading Partner.

Proposal: move AVP attribute- primaryDeliveryMethodType to Core Trade Item. This is Trading Partner Specific. This fast track attribute is defined as “The code value that Indicates the primary method of delivery for the trade item”.  It is optional and not repeatable.
 
GS1 modeler's note: Confirmed this is a simple LOI 2: Note we should look at using the following Code List from Price Sync to populate these values. We also need to look at the following values listed in the requested fast track attribute.

Code List Name                           Code List Description
DistributionMethodCodeList     The means by which the supplier and retailer agree 
                                                       up on that at what point in the supply chain the
                                                       supplier makes the goods available to the retailer.
Code     Code Description
CD         Cross Dock: The supplier picks and packs the goods per retail store location
              and delivers the goods to the retailers’ distribution centre for transfer across
              the loading dock to local delivery vehicles. In this case the goods are not
              stored in the distribution centre.
D2C       Direct to Consumer: The supplier delivers the goods direct to the end
              consumer’s location.
DC         Distribution Centre: The supplier delivers the goods to the retailers’
              distribution centre. The goods are typically warehoused in the distribution
              centre prior to distribution.
DSD       Direct Store Delivery: The supplier delivers the goods direct to the retailers’
              retail store location.
FG         Factory Gate: The supplier makes the goods available to the retailer at the

UNS      Unspecified

The following 3 values are also being considered for addition to the code list, unless they are deemed duplicates of values already contained in the list. If they are duplicates, the wording in the appropriate definitions should be revised to reference these terms:
* Warehouse
* Warehouse and DSD
* Drop Ship.
