GS1 Synkka – Information on returnable items

The package deposit information can be maintained in GS1 Synkka using three fields of information. The information fields are found in different views:

• Packaging Marking
  • Is Packaging Marked Returnable (id 1833), select True. 
     
• Basic Data  
  • The additional trade item identification is provided if the product is packaged separately on a depositable transport unit. For example, trays and pallets can have their own GTIN codes. If the product does not have a depositable transport unit, leave the field blank, the warning does not require action in this case.
  • Additional trade item identification (id 3060): select GTIN 13 and enter the GTIN code in the adjacent information field. On this page of the Ekopullo Association, you can find the GTIN codes for deposit-based platforms in the document Deposits and palletizing for bottles and transport units.
     
• Package Deposit  
  • Package deposit identifier (id 1777): select the appropriate value for the package from the code list.
