Field codes IN KNSEEAN | OUT WISEEAN | API secondaryPackageGtin
Definition
This field specifies the GTIN used to identify the secondary packaging.
Explanation
GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) is a globally standardized identification number used to uniquely identify a specific packaging level.
Here you specify the GTIN associated with the secondary packaging, meaning the packaging that contains the primary packaging. By providing the correct GTIN, it is ensured that the correct package can be identified in trade systems for ordering, logistics, and traceability.
Each packaging level (primary, secondary, tertiary) must have its own unique GTIN if it exists as a separate trade level.
-
All GTIN formats supported by GS1 are allowed: GTIN-8, GTIN-12, GTIN-13, and GTIN-14.
-
For items that pass through checkout systems, GTIN-8, GTIN-12, or GTIN-13 are recommended.
-
For outer packaging and pallets, GTIN-14 is recommended.
Usage
The supplier specifies the GTIN for the secondary packaging according to the GS1 standard.
Finfo verifies that the GTIN is correctly provided and follows a valid format.
Recipients use the GTIN for identification, ordering, and logistics handling of the secondary packaging.
