Ag Retail Point of Sale Standardization
2015 Mid-Year Meeting
6
Phase 1 Will each chemical and seed manufacturer accept GTIN and GLN as primary reporting identifiers? • Manufacturer still has ability to accept tech, license, or prop ids as they see fit
but retailers choosing this new standard will only have to use GTIN and GLN without a cross reference • Retail needs a single code standard: GTIN and GLN are already in use in other segments – let’s use them consistently! • GLN’s and GTINS are openly available now • Reduce – as much as possible – the reliance on proprietary identifiers

Phase 2 • Identify the differences between Seed PMR and Crop
Protection PMR as the current standards are written. • Come to a consensus for one standard on format and business
rules between both crop protection and seed pmr. • Create an Excel format of solely decided PMR standard that can
be submitted as an excel upload and accepted by the Manufacturers • Manufacturers chosen reporting path needs to accept both the
excel and the PMR standard format 2015 Mid-Year Meeting
