A product template in OriginsNext defines a standardised set of attributes that describe a generic product. All individual product records created under a template will share the same core characteristics—making traceability consistent and scalable across your supply chain.
Why use a product template?
Templates help group similar products by shared features such as:
Product variety or grade
Packaging type (e.g. bag, crate, container)
Brand name
This ensures consistency when tracking or reporting on traceable items and ensures the data is understandable by other participants in your supply chain ecosystem.
Unique product template identifiers
Each product template must include a unique identifier to distinguish it within the OriginsNext Product template registry. This can be:
A Stock Keeping Unit (SKU)
A GS1 Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)
A Universal Product Code (UPC)
Other industry IDs
Note: Identifiers are important for matching incoming data from other participants, system integrations and external platforms.
