Field codes IN KNTEEAN | OUT WITEEAN | API tertiaryPackageGtin
Definition
This field specifies the GTIN used to identify the tertiary 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 tertiary packaging, meaning the outer package or pallet that contains the secondary packaging. For this level, GTIN-14 is usually recommended.
The GTIN makes it possible to identify the correct packaging level for ordering, logistics, and traceability in trade systems.
Usage
The supplier specifies the GTIN for the tertiary packaging. Enter the number found in the barcode. If a format other than GTIN-14 is used, the GTIN must be entered without leading zeros (0).
Finfo verifies that the GTIN has the correct format and that the number is not already used for another item or packaging level by the supplier.
Recipients use the GTIN for identification and handling of the tertiary packaging in their systems.
