Explanation of Trustee

Trustee-Executive

The Trustee concept is a core feature of the GLOBALG.A.P. invoicing. Producers or Producer groups must have a trustee. The trustee works for GLOBALG.A.P. as a “commission agent”. They are responsible for the collection of the registration fee of all products linked to the GGN,whereas only Certification Bodies are invoiced the Certification licence fee.

The Trustee company manager gets assigned the role of Trustee-Executive by GLOBALG.A.P. CB-Administration. Users with the role Trustee Executive may assign the role Trustee-Masterdata to themselves and to any employees of the Certification Body.

Trustee-Masterdata

The Trustee-Masterdata role is needed for
a) the intial registration of producer/producer group. The registration is done either online or by upload and once completed the producer/producer group will be linked to the Trustee company and will get the status “registered”. This status is the precondition for product acceptance and certification by the Certification Body.

b) adding products to a producer/producer group. Please note that only the user Trustee-Masterdata of the Trustee CB of the respective producer/producer group can enter the products. (maybe include here a link to where GGN certified by different CBs will be explained?).
Once the products were added, the respective responsible Certification Body can proceed with accepting the products and complete the certification process.


Once a product has been accepted, this triggers the registration fee which is collected by the Trustee.

This employee is able to enter all products (including product quantities) of a producer/producer group. It is the job of the Certification Body to accept products and complete the certification process. Once a product has been accepted, this triggers the registration fee which is collected by the Trustee.

Once the Trustee-Masterdata has completed the producer/producer group registration online or by upload, the producer/producer group will be linked to the Trustee company and will get the status “registered”. This status is the precondition for product acceptance and certification by the Certification Body.
