Implementation guides for Syncrhonizing Data through the GDSN within the Mexican Market

Synchronization Process within a single pair of trading partners (commonly a manufacturer and a retailer):

• Source and Recipient using Syncfonia: Process of data synchronization in which, as much the data source (e.g. supplier), as the data recipient (e.g. retailer) use Syncfonia as their Certified Data Pool to share such as item and party master data through the GDSN.
• Source using Syncfonia and the Recipient using another Certified Data Pool: Process of data synchronization in which the data source (e.g. supplier) uses Syncfonia as its Data Pool, meanwhile whereas the data recipient (e.g. retailer) uses another Certified Data Pool to share such as item and party master data through the GDSN.
• Source using another Certified Data Pool and the Recipient using Syncfonia: Process of data synchronization in which the data source (e.g. supplier) uses another Certified Data Pool, meanwhile recipient (e.g. retailer) uses Syncfonia to share such as item and party master data through the GDSN.

Synchronization Process with an intermediary involved in the flow of information, commonly known as the Distributor Model (three trading partners are required as minimum):

• Source, Intermediary and Recipient using Syncfonia: Process of data synchronization in which all the participants use Syncfonia as their Certified Data Pool to share such as item and party master data through the GDSN.
• Source and Recipient using Syncfonia as their Certifiied Data Pool and the Intermediary using another Certified Data Pool: Process of data synchronization in which as much the Data Source (e.g. supplier) and the Data Recipient (e.g. retailer) use Syncfonia as their Certified Data Pool, meanwhile the Intermediary (e.g. Distributor) uses another Certified Data Pool to share such as item and party master data through the GDSN.
• Source and Intermediary using Syncfonia as their Certifiied Data Pool and the Recipient using another Certified Data Pool: Process of data synchronization in which as much the Data Source (e.g. supplier) and the Intermediary (e.g. Distributor) use Syncfonia as their Certified Data Pool, meanwhile the Recipient (e.g. retailer) uses another Certified Data Pool to share such as item and party master data through the GDSN.

Important: all the item revision process made by SECODAT (acronym in spanish for "Servicio de Comprobación de Datos" - Data Revision Service), are integrated within every Implementation Guide.
