Finding and Viewing Data
Finding and Viewing Data

This section explains how to find and view vendor catalogue data. Vendors can search only their own catalogues. Retailers can search all catalogues to which they have access (either full catalogue access, or access only to specific Selection Codes).

Product data in a vendor catalogue is organized in a three-level structure:

*
Selection Codes—3-digit identifiers for the broadest product groups in a catalogue, (for example, 300 is men's clothing); also used to restrict retailer access when retailer does not have unrestricted access to a catalogue
*
Products—Specific Products under a Selection Code (for example, Vendor Item No., Style No.)
*
GTINs—Specific items under a Product (for example, 123456123456, a 36-inch, leather belt)

Vendors create and maintain their own Selection Codes, Products, and GTINs.

Retailers with access to a vendor catalogue can view, download, and subscribe to automatic updates of vendor data. They can also add or edit custom field values for custom fields that have been previously defined by a vendor.

Both vendors and retailers can view an Item Search Ratio Report (see “Item Search Ratio Report� ) which shows the ratio of found versus missed GTINs. The report is based on accounts for which there is data (with a maximum of 12 months of data).

*
Retailers can view the ratio of found versus missed GTINs when they search vendors’ or distributors’ catalogues to which they have access.
*
Vendors can view the ratio of found versus missed GTINs when they search retailer’s catalogues.
