About this file

This is a technical requirements document detailing the file formats and data structures for SKU-based inventory services at Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) locations. The document specifies requirements for both fixed weight and random weight items across front-of-store and back room inventory management.

The requirements outline four key inventory file types: front-of-store fixed weight items, back room fixed weight items, front-of-store random weight items, and back room random weight items. Each file type requires specific data fields including item descriptions from the DeCA Master Catalog, SKU codes (including UPC-A, EAN, JPN, and PLU formats), and cost/pricing information. For random weight items, the document provides detailed formulas for calculating extended prices and converting between price per pound and total package costs. The contractor must provide inventory files back to DeCA with specific formats for both fixed weight and random weight items, including total quantities and costs for front-of-store and back room inventory.
