Sam's Club GDSN Implementation Guide

[Kasia]

Hello,

Any ETA on when GDSN Implementation Guide will be available for Sam's Club? We are getting some questions from Sales and am unable to provide any answers on what is being ingested. There seem to be attributes that we are sending to all recipients via GDSN/1WS that are not populating in the new Sam's System. Any help greatly appreciated!

Hello, Kasia.  I hope your week is going well.  I sent your request to our Ramp team asking for any ETA we may have and will let you know as soon as they get back to me.

Kasia, it looks like the team is working to wrap up the new guide for late next week.  I will post in the community as soon as it is available from Sam's.

Good Morning,

The implementation guide does not specifically list all required attributes but does say to utilize Sam's Club playlist. Are the current play lists in IM listed as "Sams" the correct playlists I should be looking at? For example. I chose "Sams-Food & Beverage-Prepared Foods" and it prompted validation errors that don't relate to our products and its information we would not usually provide via GDNS such as :

• Does Trade Item Contain Pesticide(doesTradeItemContainPesticide) must not be null. Is Product A Pesticide?
• Fulfillment Channel Type(wmFulfillmentChannelType) must not be null. Channel Type
• PUBLICATION IMPACT: Composite Wood Certification Code (compositeWoodCertificationCode) is required. Composite Wood Certification Code
• WARNING: Sams will only accept values of 1, 2 or 4 for Composite Wood Certification Code (compositeWoodCertificationCode).Composite Wood Certification Code
• Segregation Code(wmSegregationCode) must not be null.WM Segregation Code
   

  I just want to make sure I am applying the correct playlist for CPG food products.

   

  Thanks!

Kasia, I hope you had a pleasant weekend.  I believe I was able to replicate what you are seeing.  I asked our playlist SME if that is something we are working to correct.  

I added the Sam's - F&B - Prepared Foods playlist and got validations I would not expect to see for that item.

Hello, Kasia.  I learned that these are required validations for Lowe's but most of them have values you can select from saying it is not applicable or available for your product.
