Uploading a CSV File

You can upload a CSV file that contains the data of produced packs for a registered product: serial number, product code, batch, and expiration date. After the upload, these packs are registered in Movilitas.Cloud and are ready for commissioning to the market.

Before You Begin

Make sure that:

• You have registered the product master data under the Products --> Products --> Master data tab.
• You have prepared the CSV file in the correct format.

The CSV file contains the following header and the data per pack:

*Optional and can be omitted.

You can give pack data of multiple product codes in the same CSV file.

Example of a CSV file opened in Notepad++:

Procedure

1. Open the Serialized Manufacturing application and go to the Commissioning tab.

The application displays three tables:

• The Commissioning table contains the list of products that have items ready for commissioning to the market.
• The Failed Packs in CSV table contains a list of CSV files that contain the details about the failed packs during CSV uploads.
• The Failed Packs in EPCIS table contains a list of XML files that contain the errors during EPCIS uploads.

In the following example, the Commissioning table has items, while the Failed Packs in CSV and Failed Packs in EPCIS tables are empty:

2. On the top-right corner of the Commissioning panel, click Upload CSV.

The application opens a window that contains the following:

• A description of the CSV file format.
• The Download Template button to get the CSV template file. If you do not have the CSV file ready for uploading, download the template and fill it with your data. 
• The Select File button to select a CSV file for uploading.

3. Click Select File and select the CSV file for uploading.

Movilitas.Cloud processes the file line by line and displays the result.

• If the operation is complete, the application displays the number of successfully processed items versus the failed ones in a pop-up window. 
• If the file format is not correct, the application displays an error message and you need to correct the format and retry.

The following example illustrates that the operation is complete, and all five records have been successfully processed. There is no error:

The following example illustrates that the operation is complete, but some of the records have failed. The file contained six records, four have been successfully processed, while two have failed:

Movilitas.Cloud lists the successfully processed items versus the failed ones in separate tables.

• The successfully processed items are listed per product in the Commissioning table.
• The failed items are saved to a CSV file and the file is downloadable in the Failed Packs in CSV table.

Next Steps

Do one of the following:

• Commission the successfully processed items to a market.
• Download the CSV file about the failed packs (if any), resolve the issue as per the error message, and retry the upload again.

Uploading an EPCIS File

You can upload an EPCIS file that contains the data of produced packs for a registered product. The EPCIS file is generated in Arvato CSDB or in another system.

After the upload, the packs are registered in Movilitas.Cloud and are ready for commissioning to the market.

Before You Begin

Make sure that you have registered the product master data under the Products --> Products --> Master data tab.

Procedure

1. Open the Serialized Manufacturing application and go to the Commissioning tab.

The application displays three tables:

• The Commissioning table contains the list of products that have items ready for commissioning to the market.
• The Failed Packs in CSV table contains a list of CSV files that contain the details about the failed packs during CSV uploads.
• The Failed Packs in EPCIS table contains a list of XML files that contain the errors during EPCIS uploads.

In the following example, the Commissioning table has items, while the Failed Packs in CSV and the Failed Packs in EPCIS tables are empty:

2. On the top-right corner of the Commissioning panel, click Upload EPCIS.

3. Select the EPCIS file for uploading.

Movilitas.Cloud processes the file and displays the result.

• If the operation is complete, the application displays how many object events and aggregation events have been processed, how many errors have occurred, and how many trade items have been imported.
• If the file format is not correct, the application displays an error message that the EPCIS document is not available. You need to correct the format and retry.

The following example illustrates that the operation is complete, and all 20 trade items have been successfully processed. There is no error:

The following example illustrates that the operation is complete but there are 20 errors. None of the trade items have been imported:

The system response is one of the following:

• If the EPCIS file is processed successfully, the trade items are listed in the Commissioning table under the related product.
• If the EPCIS file is processed with errors, the errors are saved into an XML file. The file content can be copied to your clipboard in the Failed Packs in EPCIS table.

Next Steps

Do one of the following:

• Commission the successfully processed items to a market.
• Copy the XML file content about the failed packs (if any), resolve the issue as per the error message, and retry the upload again.

Commissioning Items to a Market

After the items are commissioned to Movilitas.Cloud, you can commission the items to a market.

To comply with the requirements of the specific market, the request might contain additional information besides the pack or container data:

• When commissioning the packs to the EU Hub, the application determines the manufacturer based on the CMO-serial assignments and includes the manufacturer details next to the pack details in the request sent to the EU Hub. If the manufacturer cannot be determined based on the existing configuration, the application asks the user to manually determine the manufacturer from the list of MAHs and CMOs registered in the system.
• When commissioning the packs to the EU Hub as a repacker, the application includes the original product details in the request sent to the EU Hub:
  • The original product code scheme is always GTIN.
  • The non-serialized origin product code is taken from the product master data settings that you have to specify in advance.
  • The original batch value is the one given with the packs to be commissioned.
• When commissioning the items to Novumgen (UK), the application automatically links the first available manufacturing site to the commissioning request. As a prerequisite, the manufacturing site is registered in the application. 

Before You Begin

To commission and report to the market, make sure the respective connection has been established to the external system:

Procedure

1. Open the Serialized Manufacturing application and go to the Commissioning tab.

The application displays three tables:

• The Commissioning table contains the list of products that have items ready for commissioning to the market.
• The Failed Packs in CSV table contains a list of CSV files that contain the details about the failed packs during CSV uploads.
• The Failed Packs in EPCIS table contains a list of XML files that contain the errors during EPCIS uploads.

Example:

2. In the Commissioning table, find the product for which you want to commission items.

3. In the Market column, click the drop-down and select the market if you have multiple markets (AF, EU, IDN, RUS, UAE, UK, or UZB).

4. Expand the product by clicking > next to the product code on the left. The application displays the batch and the expiration date.

A product code can have multiple batch/expiration date pairs. In this case, the items waiting for commissioning are organized per batch/expiration date.

In the following example, there are three batches for the product "01010101010101". The selected market is IDN (Indonesia):

5. Expand the row displaying the batch and the expiration date. The application displays the containers and serials waiting for commissioning.

Example:

Note: Due to readability reasons, the application displays only the first 100 containers and the first 100 trade items in the list. If there are more than 100 items waiting for commissioning, the application displays a message at the end of the list about how many items are not shown in the list.

6. (Optional) Click on the SSCC of a container and the application displays the SSCC History page in a separate browser tab.

Before commissioning, you can check the history in the SSCC pool, the container history, and the SSCC hierarchy.

7. Select the items and commission them to the market.

OPTION 1: If you want to commission specific items from the list, select the checkbox next to the item and click Commission selected.

Example:

OPTION 2: If you want to select all the displayed items in the list, select the checkbox next to the batch on the left and click Commission selected.

Note: After commissioning, the list of items will be refreshed, and the next 100 items are displayed waiting for commissioning.

Example:

OPTION 3: If you want to commission the entire batch, including the items not displayed in the list, select Commission entire batch button on the right and confirm the action.

In the following example, we are going to commission all the items for BATCH030303 of product "01010101010101" (entire batch):

EU Market-specific Action

In the normal case, the application automatically sends the manufacturer information while commissioning to the EU Hub. If the application cannot determine the manufacturer information, the application prompts you to specify the manufacturer. The application displays a window containing a drop-down and offers the list of MAHs and CMOs registered in the system:

ACTION: Select the manufacturer from the list and click Send.

As a result, the items are commissioned to the EU Hub along with the manufacturer data.

Next Steps

• (European Union) Track the commissioning requests sent to the EU Hub and verify the response. For more information, see the EU Hub channel.
• (Indonesia) Track the commissioning requests sent to BPOM and verify the response. For more information, see the BPOM channel.
• (Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and Uzbekistan) Track the commissioning requests sent to TraceLink and verify the response. For more information, see the TraceLink Partner channel.
• (United Kingdom) Track the commissioning requests (EPCIS uploads) sent to Novumgen. For more information, see the Novumgen channel.
• (Uzbekistan) Track the aggregation reports sent to Code OMS and verify that they are successfully processed. For more information, see the Code OMS channel.
• Based on the business processes of your company, after successful commissioning, you can ship the items. For more information, see the Serialized Logistics application.

Downloading the CSV File about the Failed Packs (CSV Upload)

When uploading a CSV file that contains the data of the produced packs, failed items can occur because the given data are not consistent across the full uploaded data set. For example, the same batch is used with multiple expiration dates.

Movilitas.Cloud detects the records that are not correct and saves them to a downloadable CSV file.

Note: This function is strictly connected to the use case when you have uploaded the data of produced packs as a CSV file before commissioning to the market. If you apply another use case, ignore this description.

Procedure

1. Open the Serialized Manufacturing application and go to the Commissioning tab.

The application displays three tables:

• The Commissioning table contains the list of products that have items ready for commissioning to the market.
• The Failed Packs in CSV table contains a list of CSV files that contain the details about the failed packs during CSV uploads.
• The Failed Packs in EPCIS table contains a list of XML files that contain the errors during EPCIS uploads.

In the following example, the Commissioning table has items and the Failed Packs in CSV table also contains three CSV files:

2. Go to the Failed Packs in CSV table and find the relevant CSV file. The file name is derived from the CSV file used during the upload and contains the date and timestamp.

On the right side of the filename, you can see the number of items included in the file, a download icon, and an expand icon.

Example:

3. Expand the entry of the CSV file by clicking on the drop-down arrow on the right. The application displays the details.

In the following example, we are expanding the file "produced_packs_for_demo_03-Sep-2021_21.33.09.454.csv". The CSV file contains two records:

• The first item has an incorrect expiration date. For the given batch number, the system stores a different date.
• The second item has a product code that is not registered in Movilitas.Cloud.

4. Download the CSV file by clicking on the download icon on the right.

Next Steps

Resolve the issues based on the error message and retry the upload.

Viewing the Errors after Uploading an EPCIS File

When uploading an EPCIS file that contains the data of the produced packs, an error can occur due to a mismatch between the configuration in Movilitas.Cloud and the EPCIS file content. For example, the product is unknown or the expiration date of the batch in the file is not the one that is stored in Movilitas.Cloud for that batch. 

Movilitas.Cloud detects the errors and collects them in a separate XML file.

Note: This function is strictly connected to the use case when you have uploaded the data of produced packs as an EPCIS file before commissioning to the market. If you apply another use case, ignore this description.

Procedure

1. Open the Serialized Manufacturing application and go to the Commissioning tab.

The application displays three tables:

• The Commissioning table contains the list of products that have items ready for commissioning to the market.
• The Failed Packs in CSV table contains a list of CSV files that contain the details about the failed packs during CSV uploads.
• The Failed Packs in EPCIS table contains a list of XML files that contain the errors during EPCIS uploads.

In the following example, the Commissioning table has items, the Failed Packs in CSV table contains three CSV files, and the Failed Packs in EPCIS table contains three XML files:

2. Go to the Failed Packs in EPCIS table and find the relevant XML file. The file name is derived from the EPCIS file used during the upload and contains the date and timestamp.

On the right side of the filename, you can see an expand icon.

Example:

3. Expand the entry of the XML file by clicking on the drop-down arrow on the right. The application displays the details.

In the following example, we are expanding the file "99844051_5913260000008-EPCIS-1-2-COM-AGG-5398398000005-20230621_083802Z-551_12-Sep-2023_18.28.24.309.xml". The product code in the uploaded EPCIS file is invalid, that is, the product is not registered in the Serialized Manufacturing application:

4. (Optional) Copy the file content for further investigation.

Next Steps

Resolve the issues based on the error message and retry the upload.
