Developing a system

Developing a system for sending trade item information via Validoo Item. In order for your system to be verified, it needs to be developed according to GS1’s specifications and standards. All specifications are available on gs1.se under technical documentation.

Ongoing adjustments

Business requirements are added to the global standard and maintenance releases are made approximately yearly. When a maintenance release is scheduled you are required to update your system so that it sends trade. Here is a description how you proceed in four steps.

1. Get started

Establish a contact with GS1 Sweden

Develop a contact with us. For a system to be approved it must be developed according to the existing specifications and standards. You will be provided with sufficient documentation and links to be able to develop a system.

Sign an agreement

To start a verification, an agreement must be signed with GS1 Sweden/Validoo.

• Possibility to send trade item information to Validoo Item

2. Set up a communication

Your system must be identified with a GLN (GS1 Location Number). A GLN is your company’s electronic identity. For being able to send trade item information from your system it must be identified with a GLN. There should be different GLNs for the test and production environments.

We have chosen the communications protocol AS2 as the approved protocol. The AS2 protocol is based on http. It has support for encryption and signatures to ensure that no data is lost and that all transactions are clearly traceable.

Read more about the Communicatioins Protocol AS2.

3. Register, test and verify

Become a sending system

When submitting files to the test environment you need to register your system to GS1 Sweden/Validoo. The system must be listed in Validoo Item as a sending system.

Test your system

When the system is developed and the secure communication is in place you can start testing your system. You can do it by sending trade item information to our test recipient Validoo PreProd Test Recipient with GLN 7300027777774. You will automatically receive a validation report showing if the trade item information was correct or what errors were found. To achieve a high level of usability we recommend that you prevent the possibility of making these errors. Follow the the technical specifications for trade item information.

Verify your system

When you consider the system ready, and all errors have been fixed, it is time to have the system verified.

Send files for verification (see the verification cases below) to the recipient Validoo PreProd Verification Recipient with GLN 7300027777781. GS1 Sweden chooses what verification cases that applies to you.

Once the verification for your system is completed and you have received approved validation reports, please inform your contact who will review the files.
