Item Data
Files
Companies are to provide copies of their inventory files, including U.P.C.
numbers, in electronic format (see fields below). All IBCA files are zipped,
Excel™ files that can be imported into another word processing, spreadsheet or
data base program. Fields are in the following order:
-
CATALOG NUMBER (Alternate Part Number);
-
U.P.C. NUMBER (12 digits);
-
DESCRIPTION (Text field);
-
UNIT OF MEASURE (i.e. EA, FT, LB);
-
PACKAGE INDICATOR LEVEL 0 (quantity field; in most cases the
quantity will be "1");
-
PACKAGE INDICATOR LEVEL 1 (quantity field; "R" for reserved);
-
PACKAGE INDICATOR LEVEL 2 (quantity field);
-
PACKAGE INDICATOR LEVEL 3 (quantity field);
-
PACKAGE INDICATOR LEVEL 4 (quantity field);
-
PACKAGE INDICATOR LEVEL 5 (quantity field);
-
PACKAGE INDICATOR LEVEL 6 (quantity field);
-
PACKAGE INDICATOR LEVEL 7 (quantity field);
-
STANDARD PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (SPIN) (Only if
applicable)
These files are not intended to compete with pricing services or CD ROM catalog
services that have a lot more information than the fields shown above. The files
are helpful to companies who just need to add the U.P.C. number and other basic
information to their data base.
When retrieved, each supplier is downloaded individually. Once files are
downloaded, users will employ a file compression utility to unzip the files.
Then, they will import the file into a word processing, spreadsheet or data base
program.

Excel™ spreadsheet used to send the file to IBCA.
