Repackager Use Cases

TraceLink Roles

TraceLink API Guides group messages by application. Each API Guide contains all messages available within that application. Your company's business type (e.g. CMO, Wholesale Distributor, 3PL) and role in the TraceLink Network (Owner or Partner1) determine which of these messages to develop (i.e. not all messages within this guide may fulfill your business or compliance needs).

See below to confirm which messages you should develop based on your role in the supply chain and/or the TraceLink Network.

Configure and exchange (send or receive) each message separately as a best practice.

US Product Track Owners

Repackagers use the PickShip Request to communicate the Transaction Information (TI), Transaction History (TH), and Transaction Statement (TS) to:

  • Wholesale Distributors purchasing the product within the shipment.
  • Another location receiving the product without a change of ownership (e.g. a warehouse-to-warehouse transfer).

TraceLink uses the PickShip Response to communicate the status of the Repackager's PickShip request.
