As a distributor we could sell our customers the pallet, case, the inner pack, or the each level of the hierarchy. Please ensure BEFORE you publish a hierarchy for the first time, that the number contained is accurate as well as all other attributes. If you have questions about how to publish, please contact your solution provider BEFORE publishing. If the product hierarchy is wrong, it delays new item setup when the hierarchy has to be deleted, wait 25 hours, and then publish a correct product hierarchy and number contained within each hierarchy! © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 4 DATA SYNCHRONIZATION WITH MCLANE GROCERY • Product Description must be populated with a detailed item description with no abbreviations. • Send TI/HI either at the pallet level or at the case level, which is required by McLane Company. • Make sure that: eanuccCode (gs1TradeItemIdentificationKeyValue) is: – The data structure assigned and marked on a physical product. – The eanuccCode becomes gs1TradeItemIdentificationKeyValue in MR3, new valid values for type must indicate 8, 12, 13 or 14 data carrier length • Make sure you are publishing the dimensions of the items in accordance with GDSN® Package Measurement Rules. http://www.gs1.org/sites/default/files/docs/gdsn/GDSN_Package_ Measurement_Rules.pdf © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 5 DATA SYNCHRONIZATION WITH MCLANE GROCERY • McLane Company is synchronizing many of our suppliers’ attributes into our back end systems and it is imperative that the item data is accurate. Dimensions and weight at every level of the hierarchy are used for our purchasing, receiving, slotting, and quality control process for shipping outbound to our customers. The product description from GDSN is being populated to use with our pick to voice system, as well as to create a McLane short description at the time of new item setup. • We will determine what levels of the product hierarchy we sell and will modify the “Orderable” flag, thus we require gross weight on all levels of the product. We will register and publish the appropriate level of GTINs using our GLN as a reseller of the item. • Therefore, it is imperative that all data sync issues and corrections be made before we publish to retailers so that they receive correct data the first time. © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 6 WHAT’S NEW? ENTERPRISE SYSTEM • We have been installing a new enterprise system throughout our company. • The next component to be installed is Accounts Payable. • This means our suppliers GTINs being transmitted on the EDI invoice MUST match what is being presented via GDSN and what is physically barcoded on the case. • We are currently reviewing all GTIN® errors and contacting suppliers for corrections. • Current ETA for Production is June 2015 © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 7 McLane Company Beckey James © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 8 SUPPLIER PROVIDES NEW ITEM INFORMATION • The Supplier publishes an item as new or republishes the item as new if it is in historical, suppliers use a web interface or an excel spreadsheet to register items with 1WorldSync. • The item appears in Product Intro under “ready to list” for the supplier to add the cost and other information and then submits the item. ©© 2015 GS1GS1 US US 2013 ALL ALL RIGHTS RIGHTS RESERVED RESERVED 9 COMMENTS AND ATTACHMENTS ©© 2015 GS1GS1 US US 2013 ALL ALL RIGHTS RIGHTS RESERVED RESERVED 10 WORKFLOW HISTORY ©© 2015 GS1GS1 US US 2013 ALL ALL RIGHTS RIGHTS RESERVED RESERVED 11 CODE DATE INFORMATION • This can be found by clicking on the case and then scrolling down • If this information is not present click on send back to supplier and ask them to publish the information ©© 2015 GS1GS1 US US 2013 ALL ALL RIGHTS RIGHTS RESERVED RESERVED 12 COMPLETE HIERARCHY IS PUBLISHED © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 13 WHAT IS NEXT? • The item comes back to New Item Setup, information is validated against the case sample if available, cost and GDSN information is printed and then they click “submit” to pass to the UIN Desk. • If the vendor is certified, the paperwork is given directly to the UIN desk, if not, it is attached to the case sample or an exception has been requested. • The item is then validated again by the UIN department, and then cubiscaned, the dimensions and weight are added to Product Introduction and if there is more than a 4% variance, the item is sent back to the supplier to correct. • Once correct, the UIN department approves the item in PI, it is downloaded to Corporate Item Maintenance to assign the UIN. This is done via an hourly XML message from 1WorldSync. • The New Item Department then cascades the item to the DC’s that were noted in PI and then New Items validates that the item went live in the appropriate DC’s the next day. ©© 2015 GS1GS1 US US 2013 ALL ALL RIGHTS RIGHTS RESERVED RESERVED 14 DATA QUALITY CHECK © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 15 COMMON REASONS NEW ITEMS ARE DELAYED 5.

(ITF-14, GS1-128,UPCA,EAN13,EAN8) If you are using a GS1-128, application identifiers should be present. – Item description matches what has been published. – Declared Net Content matches what has been published for retail items. – The pack matches what has been published. – The dimensions and weight are within GS1 US tolerances. © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 18 Slide 18 VK14 Corrected GS-128 to GS1-128 and added some punctuation for clarity Vida, Krisztina, 5/12/2015 WHY IS ACCURATE DATA IMPORTANT? • Purchasing – Weights and cubes have to be accurate within our system as well as our suppliers’ system so we are creating accurate Purchase Orders • Do I have a full truck? • Am I in the correct cost bracket? © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 19 WHY IS ACCURATE DATA IMPORTANT? • Receiving and Storing the Product – Assigning spaces for putting away receipts are based on the dimensions and weight of the product • Assigning a slot once instead of getting the product to the slot and having to readjust the slot or assign a new one – In our Missouri DC the product comes back to our Pallet Hospital to correct any issues before the automated process puts the product in a high bay location – We will be opening another highly automated DC in Findlay, Ohio in 2016, which demands accurate data © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 20 WHY IS ACCURATE DATA IMPORTANT? • Shipping – Efficient utilization of our trucks requires accurate dimensions and weights to ensure we are maximizing available space. This is important at each level of the product hierarchy, we could be shipping any level. © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 21 WHY IS ACCURATE DATA IMPORTANT? – For items sold to our customers at the inner pack or each level, we “QC” each tote to ensure order accuracy. The tote is weighed and tare weight of the tote is removed to determine the actual product weight. – If there is a weight discrepancy, it requires the tote to be manually checked to ensure order accuracy which adds additional distribution costs to the product – Product is scanned to ensure the proper product is in the tote and mispulls have not occurred © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 22 FOOD SERVICE INFORMATION FOR MCLANE GROCERY © 2015 GS1 US ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 23 McLane Grocery Distribution Launches New Foodservice Solution, McLane Kitchen 04/21/2015 - Temple, TX -- McLane Grocery Distribution, a business unit of McLane Company, Inc., launched the McLane Kitchen for its customers in the Convenience, Grocery, Drug and Mass Market channels.
