I am really struggling to determine what attributes are required for our smokeless tobacco products. Any suggestions for me?

Hello, amyb, and welcome to the 1WS customer community. Thank you for reaching out. I am not seeing much in our IM Participant Dictionary regarding tobacco products. Can you tell me if you have a specific recipient asking you to provide those details as they may help from the playlist perspective?

Sam's Club has instated their own Data Management system that feeds from 1WS (as I understand it), so I need to load their proper attributes into 1WS.

Hello, amyb. I contacted our attribute and playlist subject matter expert and discussed this question. The issue is that to my knowledge, Sam's is not yet receiving tobacco attributes from 1WS via GDSN at this time. We expect they will be asking for tobacco attributes in August of this year and do not yet have a playlist with these attributes yet. Is Sam's asking you to publish tobacco details now?

Sam's is requiring that we provide all required attributes for our products no later than July 15. I can't simply input the information into their IDM because 1WS overwrites the data with what I provide all our other trade partners.
I can't find any definitive list of exactly what we have to provide. I am reading their "dictionary," filtering on "Required" attributes and guessing whether or not they apply to our products.
