This wiki contains only the terms that have been newly introduced in the new GLOBALG.A.P. IT system platform.
For the time being CertifierOS (CoS) is using the term "External ID" instead of the GGN or GLN. This will be amended in the future:
A "D-U-N-S Number" is an identification number similar to the GS1 system, and if available, it can be added to the producer's master data voluntarily.
The term "Organization" is used for "Certification body"
This is a "dummy" site/parent entity category that the system requires to introduce the PG's/Option 1 multisite with QMS scope into the certificate.
All the PG's/Option 1 multisite with QMS products need to be added to this "dummy" site.
"Central PHU" shall be used for the PHUs operating under the QMS of an Option 2.
It is an item that has a hierarchy over another item.
E.g., a production site is a parent to a product that is produced on that side.
When creating a product, this is added to the "Parent". In this context, the "Parent" is the site where this product is produced.
A PG is a parent to a Producer Group Member.
When adding a producer group member to a PG, the PG is considered a "Parent" and the producer group member a "Child":
A Sub producer is a Producer Group Member
A work order can be an audit report or the working file where the certification scope of a legal entity is managed. A work order contains one to several smart forms that define the contents and the purpose of the work order.
A work order is either a full or a part of an audit. Meaning it can be the complete audit for an option 1, or it can be, e.g., only the Certification Scope Management work order, or the QMS audit for a PG or a producer member audit/assessment.
Smart forms are checklists which contain either attribute questions or P&Cs.
For an option 2 certification, the system requires a central work order, which is called "Certification Scope Management" work order.
In this work order, the complete certification scope information for an Option 2 is collected and needs to include:
- PG’s certification scope
- Producer Group Members
- their product scope
- Producer group members' PHUs and their product scope (If applicable)
- PG’s Central PHU(s) and their product scope(s) (If applicable)
Please note that a certification can only be created from a single work order and not from a combination of several work orders. Therefore, the "Certification Scope Management" work order of an Option 2 will have to include all the information that is needed for the specific certificate.
The certification scope management work order is the basis of every PG audit, and it shall be the starting point for the creation of all work orders that are required to complete the audit:
- The QMS audit and
- the producer group member sample audits
In these work orders, the complete certification scope information for an option 2 multisite is collected and needs to include the information for the option 1, all its sites and PHU(s) (if applicable).
This audit type is required for a) Option 2 - Certification Scope Management, b) Option 1 - Certification Scope Management multisite with QMS and c) Option 3 - Certification Scope Management multisite with QMS work orders. See example for a):
