Match the remaining branded items
Many branded items that didn't have GTINs on their initial records may still be easily matched to the proper record in the GDSN Connect Database. These items can be found in the Data Quality Checks page with the "Not Matched to N2F Item" warning. Perform the following steps to find and match those items:
- Go to Data Quality Checks > Item Setup
- Select "All Warnings" in the filter on the upper left above the table
- Apply the following filters in the table header
- Warnings: Not Matched to N2F Item
- Export Type: Menu Item Only AND Menu & Stock Item
- TIP: The Export Type column is not visible by default. Refer to Displaying the Export Type column to make it visible.
- Vendor: Remove vendors that do not have any branded items, such as non-food, produce, and others. Depending on how the district is configured, this might also included vendors that are set up for central kitchen, warehouse, or other internal vendors.
- Search for a match in the GDSN Connect Database
- This can be done by either 1) clicking on the blue warning description itself, or 2) selecting the [...] to the right of the row and then "Search N2F Database" from the action menu.
- This displays the "Search N2F Database" tool that allows you to perform a "Smart Search" based on the already entered information. If the item doesn't appear in the Smart Search, then you can search for the item by entering the terms in the search box. Refer to Using the N2F Search Tool for more details.
Address any critical warnings on Menu Planning
Critical warnings will prevent the records from being exported into PrimeroEdge. This is most often due to the source record in the GDSN Connect Database missing some key information required by PrimeroEdge like Serving Size Weight. Perform the following steps to find and fix these items.
- Go to Data Quality Checks > Item Setup
- Select "Only Critical Warnings" in the filter on the upper left above the table
- View the Quick Edit to review and add any missing information
- This can be done by either 1) clicking on the blue warning description itself, or 2) selecting the [...] to the right of the row and then "Quick Edit" from the action menu.
- Enter the missing information to allow the item to be exported
TIPS
The following suggestions may be helpful to find the correct information when it's missing:
- It may be listed in the Serving Size Description field
- It may be included in the Pack Size, Item Name, or other info fields
- For liquids that only list a serving size in milliliters, converting to grams or ounces may work. For water and similar liquids like juice, 1 milliliter = 1 grams. For other liquids, you might be able to divided the net weight by the number of portions.
