View source for VTA Identifiers - ID

== Field keys for data exchange ==

In XML, JSON, XLS and other data exchange formats, each VTA identifier type should have a clear and stable field key.

The recommended convention is to use the readable English entity name in UpperCamelCase, followed by <code>ID</code>. This keeps the data exchange format understandable without requiring users to learn short internal abbreviations.

{| class="wikitable"
! Identifier type
! Field key
|-
| Product Model
| <code>ProductModelID</code>
|-
| Packaging System
| <code>PackagingSystemID</code>
|-
| Sales Unit
| <code>SalesUnitID</code>
|-
| Facility
| <code>FacilityID</code>
|-
| Batch
| <code>BatchID</code>
|-
| Serialized Item
| <code>SerializedItemID</code>
|-
| Material Platform
| <code>MaterialPlatformID</code>
|-
| Economic Operator
| <code>EconomicOperatorID</code>
|-
| Trademark / Brand
| <code>TrademarkBrandID</code>
|}

For future VTA entity classes, the same convention should be used:

<code>EntityNameID</code>

Examples:

{| class="wikitable"
! Future entity class
! Field key
|-
| Packaging Component
| <code>PackagingComponentID</code>
|-
| Material Source
| <code>MaterialSourceID</code>
|-
| Declaration
| <code>DeclarationID</code>
|}
