DSCSA EPCIS Connection Configuration Template
This template allows solution providers to significantly expedite the onboarding of additional trading. Each solution provider—not PDG—will continue to define the specifics of their respective connection, but this standardized template will help them consistently communicate those connection methods. We hope solution providers will utilize this new template immediately, and we hope trading partners will encourage their solution providers to do so as well.
Exception Root Cause Document
As stakeholders consider the root causes of misalignment exceptions, it can be helpful to recognize where and how the root cause of a misalignment exception fits into the broader misalignment handling process. This document is specifically and narrowly focused on the root causes of misalignment exceptions, not the handling of misalignment exceptions once they occur. Those root causes are rooted in individual business practices—people, processes, and technology. This document is intended purely as an educational resource to aid individual companies as they evaluate and improve their business processes; it is not intended to establish specific recommendations or best practices.
