UNFI- what levels are necessary to publish.

[caiti]

Hello,

I received all of my items that I need to publish for UNFI. Could someone please tell me if I need to publish our entire hierarchy for these items, or if I should just do the orderable units on their spreadsheet. For example: 00085455188008 is the GTIN on their spreadsheet, and they do not have the case GTIN loaded. do I need to publish both the entire hierarchy including the case GTIN? or can I just publish exactly what is on this spreadsheet?

Hello @caiti, thank you for using the Community. I have attached the UNFI Implementation Guide where it covers what expectations they might have:

Publication Key Points
Trading partners are required to publish unique GTINs for all applicable levels of the item
hierarchy (such as each, inner pack, case, and pallet). UNFI captures the item attributes
published for every level of the item hierarchy and uses that data to either create a new item
(New publication) or synchronize with the item data in our corporate item database (Initial Load,
Correction, Modify publications). Refer to the UNFI Attribute List for the complete list of required
attributes.
• Publish your items from the top-most GTIN of your item hierarchy – typically, this
means the Pallet GTIN.
• Required Images – refer to UNFI Product Image Requirements document

Please let me know if this helps!
