Introduction

Depending on the ULB/State requirement to streamline the trade ontology, there can be a third trade entity defined as “Trade Sub Type”.

Trade Sub Type is the (3rd) level classification to the Trade and can be considered as the segmentation, where one trade type is divided into one more than one trade subtype.

Once the Trade Type(s) are defined, the next task is to define :

• “Trade Sub Types”.

• Map “Trade Types” & “Sub Types”

Data Table

Procedure

Field(s) Description

• Trade Type Code: Unique Identifier for Trade Type as defined in the Trade Type master.

• Trade Sub Type Code: Unique Identifier for Trade Sub Type which is used as a reference for child configuration mapping.

• Trade Sub Type Name: Nomenclature of “Trade Sub Type ” in English.

Steps to fill data

• Identify the “Trade Sub Types” that exists at a ULB/ State level.

• Collect the above information and feed it below the “Trade Sub Type Name” column accordingly.

  • The Description of Trade Sub Type Name must be provided as per the language specified in the respective column.

• Add the “Trade Sub Type Code” respectively against the identified trade type(s).

  • The format of the Trade Sub Type Code will either be predefined or can be a continuous numeric/ alphanumeric sequence as per the requirement.

  • Fill in the appropriate Trade Type Code from “Trade Type ” master for the respective trade type accordingly.

• The predefined format of the Trade Type Code only must be used from Trade Type Master Sheet and not any random code.

  • The respective mapping between Trade Categories & Trade Types is defined by columns “ Trade Category Code” & “Trade Type Code”.

Validations

• All the fields with * sign are mandatory to be filled in. Without this information, the system configurations cannot be executed.

• A “single entry” should be made against the respective column. Incase of multiple entries, continuation must be followed.

• The “Trade Sub Type Name” must be provided in the required language as mentioned against the respective column.

• The format of Trade Sub Type Code must be informed to the individual/team responsible for filling in the master data.

• The Code filled in for “Trade Type” column must be referred from Trade Type Master sheet only. Else, the mapping between Trade Type & Trade Sub Type won't be attainable.
