Product Track 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.
