Compass Group/Foodbuy GDSN Implementation Guide – Prepared by Aligntrac Solutions, Inc. www.aligntrac.com 4 Overview of Supplier Implementation with Foodbuy/Compass Group
Data Synchronization is the electronic transfer of standardized product and location information between trading partners and the continuous synchronization of that data over time. The Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) is an automated, standards based global environment that enables secure and continuous data synchronization, allowing all partners to have consistent item data in their systems at the same time. Foodbuy’s goal is to establish Global Data Synchronization Network (GDSN) as the preferred method of item setup and maintenance leading to improved efficiencies and item accuracy. Our objectives include developing a scalable and repeatable supplier onboarding program that provides a positive experience for all of Foodbuy/Compass Group’s supplier community. General Outline Suppliers will normally follow five high‐level steps in their implementation with Foodbuy/Compass Group: A. Initiate the GDSN relationship. B. Understand Compass Group’s Attribute Requirements C. Load your accurate item data into your GDSN data pool and ensure it is ready for publication D. Publish and synchronize all existing items sold to Foodbuy/Compass Group as well as your entire item catalog E. Receive a CIC Message from Foodbuy/Compass Group These steps are detailed in the next section. Supplier Steps to Implement GDSN with Foodbuy/Compass Group

In addition, suppliers must provide “pack size” information. There are three possible methods: 1. Assign and publish GTIN’s to lower levels of packaging. “Size/Size UOM” will be determined from Net Content at the lowest level of packaging and “Pack” will be determined by the number of “base units” in the higher level of packaging (i.e. determined from the link quantities of GTIN hierarchy). 2. Use the following GDSN fields to send the unmarked “contents” of GTIN  Inner Pack Quantity (No GTIN Assigned)  Item in Inner Pack Quantity (No GTIN Assigned)  Individual Unit Measures See the Appendix “Individual Unit Measures” and “Unmarked Inners” for the detailed field names for these attributes Compass Group/Foodbuy GDSN Implementation Guide – Prepared by Aligntrac Solutions, Inc. www.aligntrac.com 7 Food and Beverage Required Attributes The below attributes apply to all food related items.

Beginning in 2016, Foodbuy/Compass Group will begin scoring for the following information categories:  Images (case, inner pack if applicable, unprepared item, prepared item)  Nutrition  Allergens  Ingredients  Diet Type Code  Alternate Item Number (MIN) For the following categories will be applied to two groups: categories that apply to all (food and non‐food) items and categories that only apply to food items. The categories that will apply to all items are:  Alternate Item Number (MIN)  Images (case, inner pack if applicable, unprepared item, prepared item) The categories that will apply only to food items are:  Nutrition  Allergens  Ingredients  Preparation & Cooking Instructions  Diet Type Code Items will be classified as food/non‐food based upon the item’s Global Product Classification (GPC) Code; items with a GPC brick code of “Food/Beverage and Tobacco” will be identified as a food item. The GPC Temporary Classification Code: 99999999 is not an acceptable GPC code for Foodbuy/Compass Group and a CIC Review Message will be returned asking for the attribute to be updated to a valid GPC code.
