Introduction

In order to initiate the Trade Master Data re-engineering process (At ULB/State Level), first thing we need is to define the Trade Category.

The Trade Category List can be defined as the Superset master classification “head” under which various other “Trade Type/Sub Type” will be defined.

Data Table

• Data Definition

  • Field(s) Description :

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

    • Trade Category Name : Nomenclature of “Trade Category” in English.

Steps to fill data

1. Identify the “Trade Categories” that exists at a ULB/ State level.

   1. Priorly, there are certain trade categories already defined as the master (Reference of Data Definitions by previous implementations).

   2. Incase any new trade categories are identified, add the same.

2. Collect the above information and feed it below the “Trade Category Name” column accordingly.

   1. The Description of Trade Category Name must be provided as per the language specified in the respective column.

   2. The Description must be kept short and precise.

3. Add the “Trade Category Code” respectively against the identified trade categories(s).

   1. The format of the Trade Category will either be predefined or can be a continuous numeric sequence as per the requirement.

Data Template 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 Category Description” must be provided in the required language as mentioned against the respective column. The Description must be kept short and precise.

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