Food product hierarchy-pack size

Carleton80 — Thu, 02 Oct 2025 16:02:10 GMT

When creating a product hierarchy-where does the pack size amount (in this example- "10") appear after the product is linked? I would like to use this number, as the pack size for an item sold by the case. Cannot find a simple food playlist/attribute that will serve as a pack size. We sell the item by the each and a case (of 10) as illustrated.

Hello @Carleton80 and welcome to the Community. It would not automatically appear, but it would need to be entered in the Hierarchy Information section of the item. You can hover over the attributes to view their meanings. But in this instance, you are looking for Total Count of All Products.

Thank you so much for your help. When we sync to our trading partners- it is universally understood that the "Total Count of All Products" is the number of GTIN items included in that case?

Great question @Carleton80. At a very high level, what happens is we take what is entered into Item Management and map those values to GDSN accepted names to send to the various recipients so that we all stay on the same page. If you want to take a deeper dive into the mapping and such, the following link has our Participant Dictionary, which lists the Item Management name, GDSN XML name, and definition.
