10-044 Public Review, GDSN BRG

The Public Review for CR 10-044 begins Mar-11-2010 and ends Mar-25-2010. Proposal: 13-Feb-2010: The trade item needs the ability to define and provide information on GTINs which are parents of a pallet (Ex. Truck Load, Container, Rail Car, Ship, etc).  To accomplish this the trade item unit descriptor needs to be expanded to include a descriptor for the parent of a pallet.  It is proposed to name this generic unit “Transport Load” so as to allow for the various types of parents there may be called.  There will also need to be a change to the validation rules to allow a pallet to have a parent.  It is also recommended to allow this new descriptor to have a parent as well.  This will allow for growth as you could have 20 pallets in a container, and 2 containers in a rail car.

10-060 Public Review, GDSN BRG

The Public Review for CR 10-060 begins Mar-11-2010 and ends Mar-25-2010. Proposal: 15-Feb-2010: The

PriceComparisonContentTypeCodeList from the BMS Trade Item "5.3. Internal Code Lists" section needs a review and clarification.

A)   The usage of unit of measures is inconsistent in this code list which could cause master data inconsistencies. For example: the definition of PER_LITRE is "Specified using MLT as unitOfMeasure (price per litre)." If this a a "per litre" price comparison and the definition is "price per litre" then the suggested UoM can't be MLT. Please consider using only one sizing of the same measure type (PER_LITRE = only LT is acceptable).

   Also the short forms 'MMT', 'MLT', etc. are outdated, according to the '7.2. External Code Lists' section these are 'MM', 'ML', etc.
