3.2.1 Operational Product Data – Weight & Dimensions
3.2.2 Weights and Dimensions
Measurements are split down into four individual attributes; see diagram Dimension H – Height, measured in centimetres, including packaging. Dimension W – Width, measured in centimetres, including packaging. Dimension D – Depth, measured in centimetres, including packaging. Weight – Measured in grams [g], this is the total weight of the product, including packaging. • When taking the measurements of your product it is important to realise that operational data may be different to the selling data that you have supplied • Operational data measurements must be taken including primary packaging and take account of the correct orientation of the product for storage • If your product is supplied in a bag, please wrap the bag around the product to get the smallest possible measurement • If you are not sure that you have taken the right measurements, or if you have an irregular shaped product (carry handle for example), please contact the Supplier Support Team/Account Manager. Some things to remember:
We operate both a highly automated and fast-moving supply chain so accuracy within the product data that we receive from suppliers is crucial.
Here are a few examples of decisions regarding your product that are made from this data:
• How it is handled from a health and safety perspective • Where it is stored in our warehouse • To determine the sales channels that your product is sold through • How many of each product can be stored within each storage medium • How a customer order is packed • Weight check on all customer orders prior to dispatch.
