GS1net User Guide - Cookbook

The GS1net User Guide, referred to as the GS1net "Cookbook", is for all suppliers loading and maintaining data in GS1net, including the NPC (National Product Catalogue) for healthcare. It has been developed to provide improved user documentation, specifically to assist users to better understand the system and the tasks/data needed to meet your industry’s requirements. You may download the whole "Cookbook", or just access the relevant sections as and when needed. This is a new format for GS1net user documentation which we hope you find useful; we would appreciate any feedback you may have.

  Your data will be processed by the GS1net Validator on its way to loading into GS1net. This document contains all the information required to access and manage the GS1net Validator.
- Business Validation Rules [May 2012]
  Community defined validation rules, executed on your data as it is loaded via the GS1net Validator. See which fields are affected by which rules. Unlike further validations which are executed by GS1net itself, these rules are not context specific i.e. do not take into account what data is already in your GS1net catalogue.
