Hello,
The community has been very helpful to answer questions about UDI/GUDID in the past but wanted to ask a question that some of you may be able to answer.
We created a GTIN number with GS1 US that we use as our DI number for a specific part. We since changed the part description format in our quality system to standardize part descriptions.
In order to change the part description in GS1 US, a new GTIN number would need to be generated.
First question:
Does part description have to match what our quality system states or can the format be different?
Second question?
If we have parts with the old description in the field but want to update the description (essentially assign a new GTIN), can we initiate a "Commercial Distribution End Date" (for the DI number) in GUDID?
I hope the community can give me some clarity to this issue we are facing.
