Guide contents

Build a packaging master

Represent packaging components separately enough to track material, form, weight, product association and market.

Preserve source evidence

Supplier specifications, bills of material and calculation files should remain linked to the values used in reporting.

Separate core data from jurisdiction rules

The same packaging component can support multiple reporting programs even when category mapping, exemptions and fees differ.

Version by reporting period

Keep the product and packaging values that were actually used for each reporting cycle rather than overwriting history.

Continue the workflow
