- Commodity / Classifications
- Defines a fungible classification (i.e. functionally equivalent commodity)
- Assumption: In supply chain there's a use-case that says if 4 products/items are classified the same in a system designed for supply-chain fungibility (e.g. Product Ibuprofen 200mg capsules and the items Tylenol, Advil and Motrin IB), that all 4 products/items may be considered functionally equivalent for supply-chain resupply workflows. It is assumed that other classification systems can be used in a similar manner: e.g. for health insurance the insurance system would also classify Tylenol into a classification system indicating that Tylenol would be covered by the patient's health insurance provider.
- Classify each Product in one or more classification systems (e.g. UNSPSC, GPC)
- Classify each Product into one or more classifications within a single system (e.g. SNOMED-CT)
- Each must be able to be classified into multiple categories per classification system
- Defines a fungible classification (i.e. functionally equivalent commodity)
- Items
- Defines an item that is tangible: it moves through the supply chain.
- Trade name / ID (e.g. GTIN)
- Expiration Date
- Lot/Batch
- Serial Numbers (e.g. SGTIN)
- Defines an item that is tangible: it moves through the supply chain.
- Catalogs
- Organization owned and published catalog(s)
- Product definitions cross mapped into equal Product's defined in other Catalogs.

- Report Inventory Status Across the Network
- (Inventory is a snapshot at a point in time)
- Receive Inventory Reports from Point of Service Systems
- Provide this information to decision makers

- Report on available volume (e.g. volume of vaccines in fridge / total storage volume)
- Alerts on functional status of store room equipment (e.g. CCE temperature, power, etc)
- Track & Trace
- Gateway to validate that a product in the system is not sub-standard (e.g. not approved or expired) or falsified (isn't what it claims to be)
