Item Maintenance
Definition
The ongoing process of updating and correcting product information in a retailer’s or distributor’s item file. Item maintenance ensures data accuracy for pricing, pack changes, new UPCs, discontinued SKUs, cost updates, and logistics attributes.
How It's Calculated
Example
After changing its case pack from 12 to 8 units, a snack manufacturer submits item maintenance updates so retailers can adjust ordering and shelf space.
