Selecting Products Manually for Validation

Step 1 — Create a Validation Set

1. Navigate to Validations in the Qmica main menu.
2. Click + Create a validation set.
3. Enter a descriptive name for your validation set.
4. Choose Select manually.
5. Continue to the selection screen.

Step 2 — Choose a Selection Type

Qmica offers three tabs for selecting products:

• Classifications — Select one or more GS1 classifications to validate all associated products.
• Products — Select individual products from your existing Qmica product data.
• Collections — Select previously created collections containing predefined groups of products.

Choose the tab that matches the products you want to validate.

Step 3 — Select Classifications

Use the classifications tab when you want to validate all products belonging to one or more GS1 classifications.

1. Open the classifications tab.
2. Select the appropriate Data model.
3. Choose the relevant Target market.
4. Select the applicable Version.
5. Use the search field to find classifications by code or name.
6. Click Select next to the classification you want to include.
7. Repeat for additional classifications if required.

Qmica includes the products associated with the selected classifications in your validation selection.

Tip: Selecting multiple classifications allows you to validate several product categories within a single validation set.

Step 4 — Select Individual Products

Use the products tab when you want to validate specific products rather than complete classifications.

1. Open the products tab.
2. Use the available search and filter options to locate your products.
3. Click Select next to each product you want to validate.
4. Repeat until you have selected all required products.

This method is useful for validating a small selection of newly added or recently updated products.

Step 5 — Select an Existing Collection

Use the collections tab when you want to validate a predefined group of products.

For example, you can validate a winter collection, a new product launch or a retailer-specific assortment.

1. Open the collections tab.
2. Select the appropriate Target market and Version.
3. Use the search field to locate your collection.
4. Click Select next to the collection you want to validate.

Qmica adds the products associated with the selected collection to your validation selection.

Note: Collections must be created before they can be selected for validation.

To create a collection, navigate to Items → Collections.

For detailed instructions, see Creating and Validating Collections.

Step 6 — Review Your Selection

Once you have selected the required classifications, products or collections, click Show selected items.

Review the selected items to make sure the correct products are included.

Check the relevant classification, product and target market information.

If necessary, remove an item from your selection or return to the selection screen to add more products.

Step 7 — Start Validation

After reviewing your selection, click Start validation.

Qmica creates the validation set and starts checking the selected product data against the applicable GS1 requirements.

The validation set appears in the Validations overview while processing is underway.

You do not need to submit the products to GS1 to perform these validation checks.

Step 8 — Review Validation Results

Once validation has completed, return to the Validations overview.

Open the three-dot menu next to the validation set.

You can now choose:

• Show items — Review the validation status of individual products.
• Show issues — Review detected validation issues and affected products.
• Revalidate — Run validation again after correcting product data or mappings.

A green checkmark in the Build column indicates that validation processing completed successfully. It does not necessarily mean that all products passed validation.
