Who We Are
© 2006
What We Believe
That Data Accuracy is Foundational and without it, e-commerce will only enable the
rapid, seamless transfer of bad data and the mutual pollution of our systems (we will move
bad data faster)…

What We Believe
• Good quality data is foundational to collaborative commerce and global data synchronization. Good quality data means that all master data is complete, consistent, accurate, time-stamped and industry standards-based. By improving the quality of data, trading partners reduce costs, improve productivity and accelerate speed to market. Read these downloadable publications:
Synchronization: The Next Generation of Business Partnering
Data Quality Framework including the Data Quality Protocol
An Enterprise Data Quality Framework incorporates:• An internal governance process (top down)• A data quality management system to help improve the quality of data as
published in the network. • An assessment procedure to validate the existence and effectiveness of
key data management business processes. • An inspection procedure to physically validate product attributes.

Our Business Case
• To develop a standards-based set of tolerances which will be used within the network to ensure a level of data accuracy and to allow business users streamlined processes.
– The Data Quality Steering Committee will use our findings as part of the Data Quality Framework

The Discovery Pilot Principles
• The 80-20 Rule• Share our learnings• Incorporate environmental issues• Agree to improve the quality of the data for the
long term!• We are learning and therefore perfection is
unattainable! This is Version 1.0!

Why is the Data Inaccurate?Why is the Data Inaccurate?
• Package Measurement Rules
• GTIN Allocation Rules
• Measuring Devices
• Multiple versions
© 2006
Industry Approved Tolerances
Case Level (for Packaging Types Evaluated):
– Dimensions: plus or minus 4%
– Weights:plus or minus 4%
Consumer Unit (for Packaging Types Evaluated):
– 0.25 inches for hard and medium packaging types

•
Physical products identified by the same GTIN have inherent variability in gross weights and linear dimensions due to manufacturing processes, handling methods, environment and other factors. Tolerances are defined as allowable variations between the STATED (synchronized) and MEASURED (actual) gross weights and linear dimensions of a GTIN.
Acceptable tolerances are defined in the tables below (Tolerances for Non Consumer Trade items and Consumer Trade items have been separated into distinct tables):Notes:* Refer to the Best Practice Guidelines for Implementing Tolerances for more information regarding data accuracy guidelines and implementation of tolerances.* Soft paper products in flexible packaging at the consumer and case level are excluded from the above packaging types.* Frozen categories are excluded from the above packaging types.* The proposed Data Accuracy tolerances are not intended to replace parameters within the GTIN Allocation Rules, which identify when a new GTIN must be assigned.* The dimensions and weight tolerances apply only to fixed measure products. Tolerances are not practical for variable measure products (e.g., variable weight products, etc.)
