Prepare for Digital Product Passport Compliance with Expert Insight from Lora Cecere
Founder, Supply Chain Insights

With the EU Digital Product Passport (DPP) set to launch in 2027 for initial industries—batteries, consumer electronics, and textiles (footwear and apparel)—businesses are beginning to confront a rapidly evolving compliance landscape. Yet with many requirements still undefined, confusion is widespread.

Lora Cecere's latest research helps organizations cut through the uncertainty by offering actionable insights and a clear, customer-centric, outside-in approach to DPP readiness.

Key Highlights:

  • Start with the Customer in Mind
    Align compliance efforts with market demands to drive growth and gain a competitive advantage.

  • Break Down Silos
    Cross-functional collaboration—across sustainability, supply chain, procurement, and policy is essential for success.

  • Clarify Compliance
    Understand the core elements that define DPP compliance and the practical steps needed to achieve it.

  • Learn from Diverse Approaches
    See how companies are navigating DPP differently, with no one-size-fits-all path to readiness.

  • Adopt GS1 Standards
    Address the existing gap in the implementation of critical global standards for traceability and product information.

Build the capabilities your organization needs today to meet the demands of tomorrow—with a forward-looking, customer-first strategy.

To utilize the Security Rules Optimization feature, a system administrator can assign security codes to 100 pre-defined user groups. User groups are created in the Group Security Maintenance (SYS603) program. All users assigned to this group possess the same level of security.   

A system administrator can assign security codes for up to 100 of the user groups. All user groups over 100 are still administered by all security reject/allow rules assigned to them but are not able to utilize the optimized process. 

Each of the security codes and access levels are assigned to user groups and are mapped to the account strings and stored in the Account Cross Reference (CEA106D1) file.   

Once security codes have been assigned, the system administrator must: 

  • Determine which level each group is allowed access.

  • Determine which segment values/account strings are assigned to which user groups.

  • Create security rules for specific segment values/account strings and assign these groups to the created rules.

  • Select the rules to be processed.  Processing can be done in either batch mode or interactively.

  • The Security Rules flag must be on in the CEA Control Parameters program before any rules are effective. 

This feature provides a parameter that allows the user to enter expiration dates on the Inventory Transaction Posting screen, INV500, and Purchase Order Receipts screen, PUR5505, when they have received a lot controlled item that is not QMS controlled. This new field allows an expiration date to be entered and not overridden. A system parameter was added to Advanced Process Industries Parameters, API820D. When the parameter is set to Yes, a new lot expiration date is available in the Inventory Transaction Posting, INV500D2, and Purchase Order Receipts, PUR550D2, screens.
