Goods glasses comes in many standards, could be FEDAS, very common in the sports- and outdoor sector, DTB/BTE commonly used by European fashion suppliers or any other standard or supplier specific value.
Buyers tend to use standards such as FEDAS or their own internal values and will usually require the supplier to map the goods classes towards a universal set.
BOP handles many of the common standards such as FEDAS, BTE and DTB but also holds two internal set's; b24gc (old standard) and b24gc6 (new standard).

B24gc6
The b24gc6 standard covers the need for most sectors within retail and is constantly evolving to cover even more segments of the industry. The standard is divided into four levels, looking like this:
Position 1 - Product Category
Example: 2 - Clothing W
Position 2-3 - Product Category Sub-class
Example: 03 - Vests
Position 4-5 - Style
Example: 12 - Fleece
Position 6 - Style Sub-class
Example: 1 - Windproof
B24gc6 Code: 203121 - Wmns Vests Fleece Windproof
Conversions in BOP
BOP supports automatic conversions of some goods class standards into b24gc6 eaning that suppliers will not have to map towards b24gc6 themselves. To summarize it looks like the table below.
If a supplier sends goods classes with BTE/DTB or b24gc set we will automatically translate them into b24gc6 codes with b24-registry.
If a supplier sends goods classes with FEDAS, it will not be translated into b24gc6, such mapping can be done on the buyer side if requested.
If a supplier sends goods classes with any other set they will be forced to map the codes to either b24gc6 or FEDAS codes in the Btwentyfour Omnichannel Platform if the receiver of the masterdata has such validations.
