Minimum Days of Shelf Life from Production

I would like verification of the meaning behind minimum days of shelf life from production.  I have been told by a recipient this should be the total shelf life of a product from production. However, I take it to mean what is the minimum days left on product when shipped.   Which is correct?

Sorry, I was just sharing a screen print of the specific topic for shelf life fields.  Here is the actual document in GS1.  Hopefully the link works for you.

Hello everyone! I would always recommend discussing with your trading partner and asking what information they are expecting in those fields to always be certain of the expectations.

Based on the definitions of those attributes I would recommend:

Minimum Days of Shelf Life from Production: This would be the total guaranteed shelf life of the product from the moment of production until the expiration date of the product. 

Minimum Days of Shelf Line at Arrival: This is the minimum guaranteed remaining days of shelf life after the trading partner has received your product until its expiration date.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you!
