DHB National Catalogue - NPC Pricing by GLN

The DHB National Catalogue (DHBNC) is currently administered by healthAlliance (hA) and uses your New Zealand National Product Catalogue as a source of product and pricing data.

It is expected any national contract, transaction or list prices are loaded into your National Product Catalogue.  Also, by default any pricing specific to a DHB should also be loaded. Pricing is required to be loaded for all DHBs

Even if a supplier already has a catalogue for the NPC in Australia, they are still required to have a separate NZ National Product Catalogue Catalogue or they may choose a Dual Catalogue with their New Zealand businesses GLN that will be published to the DHB National Catalogue

Prices should be applied at the ‘Invoice’ level of the packaging hierarchy.  This level of packaging is identified when the GTIN has a Y value in the field ‘Is trade item an invoice unit?

PRICING MODEL - Use of Global Location Numbers (GLNs)

The DHB National Catalogue has a pricing model which works on a hierarchical basis.  A national price is a price available to all DHBs within the country and should be indicated using the DHBNC National Price GLN.  While this price is available to all DHBs within the area, some DHBs may have their own specific prices.  As such, these DHB prices will need to be provided by specifying the GLN for that DHB.

Prices should be published at the highest applicable level.  Global Location Numbers (GLNs) have been allocated by GS1 NZ and are global unique identifiers for these legal entities.  Prices at the ‘Price Location-to’ level are entered for any GLN for which a price may apply. See the list of NZ GLNs below.
