Wholesale Distributor 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.

SA Compliance Reporting Owners

Wholesale Distributors can upload serialization data to the PTS when selling product within Saudi Arabia. They upload serialization data to the PTS in order to provide information to their partners and the SFDA. The Saudi Arabia Compliance application generates a PTS Upload (In-Country Sale) report as a record of the upload. If the shipment is within Saudi Arabia and the Dispatch workflow is enabled, the Dispatch (In-Country Sale) is also sent.

Wholesale Distributors can also download serialization data from the PTS when receiving a shipment of purchased or returned items in Saudi Arabia.
