"Aggregation" refers to capturing and maintaining parent-child relationships between different packaging levels of product. The Aggregation process involves serializing products at the saleable unit level, then associating those units to the next level of the packaging hierarchy (e.g. cases). To enable this, the cases are also serialized with their own serialized GTINs or SSCC numbers, and these are then associated with pallets. The pallet will typically have a unique SSCC number assigned. 4
Hierarchy Change There are three modes of hierarchy change in Tatmeen: Pack we add one or more child unit into a parent unit Unpack we disaggregate/subtract from the parent unit one or more child unit Unpack all we disaggregate/subtract all child units from the parent unit Select Hierarchy Change in the navigation menu in the Portal or Mobile to access Hierarchy Change documents.

Pack - Portal Packing is a product hierarchy update where we add one or more unpacked child items into an existing or new parent item. The main data required for packing is the following: Unique Serialized Number (SGTIN or SSCC) of a child item Unique Serialized Number (SSCC) of a parent item The packaging process comprises of 3 steps: Step 1 Adding child items Step 2 Adding of a parent item Step 3 Packing confirmation To pack an item select Hierarchy Change->Pack from the menu 7

Pack Step 1 This step covers the adding of one or more items which need to be packed. Items must be defined as: SSCC, usually when cases are packed into a pallet SGTIN To continue to the next step at least one SSCC or SGTIN item must be added. Once the focus is on the application, the application is ready to scan the barcode with a scanner. Field Name Description SSCC-(00) Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) is an 18-digit number used to identify pallets; e.g. (00)062950000410005187 If the application doesn t have focus, scanning is not possible. GTIN-(01) Global Trade Item Number is a fixed number (14 digit), which is globally unique for a product; e.g. (01)05675000041565 SERIAL-(21) Unique number (SN, SERIAL) assigned to each individual product; e.g. (01)05675000041565(21)01SD0000035 For manual data entry press Enter Manual screen opens. where new 9
