Using GTINs from GS1/GDSN

Has anyone implemented GTINs in Lawson via GS1/GDSN? We are looking to load GTINs from the GDSN to synch to Epic for barcode scanning in procedure areas. I would love to talk to anyone who has gone down this path and can provide some insight!

Thanks,

Dan Echevarria

Children's has not, but after the implementation of Cerner SurgiNet procedure cards we are on the early path to explore as well. Did Premier Health upgrade to Cloud Suite?

We are loading GTINs into Lawson to pass to EPIC. I feel like there is a way to better automate, but I am more than willing to share our current process.

Hi Bob. Long time no chat! Hope you're doing well. We are still on V10, single tenant.

I would be very interested in seeing your process. Do you have a functional design or SOP you can share?

We don't have any formal documentation at this point, but i can describe our process.

On the first of the month, we pull an active item master file (using Addins) that includes items which do not have a GTIN or HIBCC loaded. We then download a .txt file from ACCESSGUDID. These files are run through 2 Access databases (one at a time). One matches based on Catalog Number published in ACCESSGUDID the other matches against Version / Model published in ACCESSGUDID. Potential matches are exported to Excel where the mfg from IC11 is compared to the Company Name published in ACCESSGUID. Items with only 1 UOM where the mfg matches are uploaded to IC11.7 (GTIN) or IC11.3 (HIBCC). Items with multiple UOMs in IC11 are keyed into IC11.7 or IC11.3 to make sure the correct GTIN / HIBCC is being loaded with the correct UOM.

It sounds like a lot, but at this point in time, monthly updates are complete in a few days. I'm sure there is a way to automate, but IT hasn't been able to help with that process.
