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

excel upload and accepted by the Manufacturers • Manufacturers chosen reporting path needs to accept both the excel and the PMR
standard format Collaboration for eConnectivity – Ensuring Success for the Future
