What does a Data Management Service (DMS) do and what role does a supplier have?

Checking article data:

• The supplier receives a call to check article data via MyGS1, the DMS is also informed.
• The DMS informs the supplier about how they want to receive the items. The supplier sends the items to the DMS.
• The DMS checks the article data and feeds back the check results to the supplier.
• The DMS answers any questions the supplier may have about the results of the checks.

Recording item data:

• The supplier informs the DMS which items (or changes in items) need to be entered.
• The DMS records the article data. The supplier is exempt from physical checks.
