Component Link in VIP

Is the Component Link still available? And if so, how do you populate the Nutritional information within that link for a Party Tray that has several items within the tray? Via a Component Number?

Hello @Fall78,

Welcome to the 1WS Kroger Community!

To assist you with adding nutritional information, could you please provide your GTIN?

If you're syncing your data through a data pool provider, nutritionals must be added via your data pool provider before finalizing in VIP.

The component link in Kroger VIP is intended for non-GDSN data only.

Thank you, would you happen to know the steps for Non-GDSN Suppliers that would need to use the Component Link?

Hello @Fall78,

A non-GDSN vendor needs to ensure that within the GTIN, they are updating the Attributes Display Preference and Item Type Attributes to 'View All Attributes' in order to access all necessary attributes for component & nutritional information.

After updating these settings, the vendor can scroll down to find the Component Link, Food and Beverage Preparation Info, and Nutritional Information links. Here’s how to use them:

Component Link: Allows the vendor to 'Add Component'.

Food and Beverage Preparation Info Link: Enables the addition of any preparation information.

Nutritional Information Link: Permits the addition of nutritional details for each component of their product.

If the vendor encounters any further issues, they should reach out through the 1WS Kroger Community for assistance with a successful submission.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
