Next, select a hierarchy template, for example a three-level hierarchy consisting of a consumer product, a transport package and a pallet.

Select the appropriate GPC class and then specify how you want to create the GTINs for the new packaging hierarchy.

  • Add GTIN for all
    • select this option if you want to enter an existing GTIN for all packaging items
  • Leave all GTINs empty for now
    • select this option if you want to enter the GTINs later
  • Set individually for each
    • select this option if you want to specify the GTIN separately for each level of the packaging hierarchy:
      • create a new GTIN using your own GS1 Company Prefix
      • enter an existing GTIN
      • leave the GTIN blank for now

Finally, click Create hierarchy and continue by completing the product information for the product and packaging items.
