Starter contract

fmcg_product

15 rules · plain YAML · starts in observation mode

OpenDQV Cloud starter template (v0.1) — your tenant inherits this baseline. First customer edit creates v1.0 in your audit trail; pin by yaml_hash for replay. FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) product sales record validation. Enforces GS1 GTIN barcode format and check digit (8-, 12-, 13-, or 14-digit numeric product identifiers used across UK and global retail supply chains), ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country of origin, ISO 4217 currency codes, and product category taxonomy aligned with GS1 Global Product Classification (GPC). Prevents invalid product codes, uncategorised products, and ambiguous pricing records from entering retailer EDI, POS, and category management systems. Pack unit standardisation prevents unit-of-measure mismatches in NPD and promotional analysis pipelines.

These are starting points you own. Every rule below ships in the trial, starts in observation mode, and is yours to read, edit, or delete from day one. Rules that reference a lookup list (lookup_file) validate against reference data you control in your tenant.
Rules as at 29 August 2026 — starting points you own, not a maintained regulatory feed. We correct errors in these samples; tracking regulatory change in your active contracts is yours.
