  • From a generic module. This is for example the Label info tab, Product packaging, etc.
  • Or From a customer specific attribute.

When the GDSN Field is published from a generic SyncForce module, go to this documentation: SyncForce generic modules & mapping to Data Channels

When the GDSN Field is published from a customer specific attribute, go to this documentation: SyncForce custom fields BREF mapping to Data Channels

If you don't know, start with checking 1 document and if the field is not found, check the other.

Step 3: Lookup this Field name in the documentation

  • Open the documentation
  • Search on the GDSN Field name
  • Scroll to the left and see which SyncForce field (in the generic mapping) or BREF (in the customer specific mapping) is mapped to this GDSN field.
