Preliminary Item Status Code

[lvanhouten]

Hi - this is a 2-part question...

1.  Where is the Preliminary Item Status Code attribute in the Enhanced view?  I can find it in Classic but not not able to locate it in Enhanced and I tried including multiple playlists.

2.  We are a data supplier and if we set this flag to 'Preliminary', what impact does that have downstream to our data recipients? Does it relax some of he validations for required fields?  Does it even flow to our recipients?

Appreciate any feedback - thanks!

A code designating whether the trade item has data that the information provider intends to correct or add values to due to pre-production unknowns (PRELIMINARY) or whether the item has attribute values that reflect go to market state (FINAL).

This is a GDSN attribute that is not used by many recipients as the business case around it is still quite vague. It is intended to tell the recipient that the content is not finalized and is subject to change (any or all of it), hence the code of Preliminary. Use of the attribute requires the use of the First Ship Date. And at or after the first ship date this attribute must be changed to Final.

You can find this on the Delhaize and UNFI playlists.
