ACRSI - Core Product Code

[hrahardja]

With 375+ unique commodity codes (Core Product Code) that will be updated periodically, there is a need to publish these reference codes in parallel of ACRSI project releases.
Requirements:

• Allow third party software providers, producers, AIP (Approved Insurance Providers), County Offices to select and utilize correct set of core product codes while submitting their CART file.
  Advantage: Reduce or eliminate complex communication for exception handling during CART data file submissions.

Challenges:

1. There are interdependencies between Core Product Codes with Core Product Code Types (sub-classification codes), and other codes. These product types need to be matched with Core Product Codes providing correct sets of combination.
2. There is no readily defined mechanism to provide the above (Open data set publication, Schema Definitions, API, etc.)
3. RMA and FSA may recognize different sets of Core Product Code as they have not been through governance process to agree and recognize a single agreeable code sets.
