Your operator identity

A passport has to say who is responsible for it and where the product was made. A node records those details once and stamps them onto every new passport, so an import does not need a column for them.

Operator details

odal operator show
odal operator set --legal-name "Example GmbH" --country DE --contact-email dpp@example.com

Operator settings include the legal and trade name, postal address, country, contact email, the domain behind your did:web identity, and a retention period.

Economic-operator identifiers

ESPR asks for a unique operator identifier. A node holds as many as you have, one of them primary:

odal operator-id add --scheme lei --value 5299009N55YRQC69CN08 --primary
odal operator-id list

Schemes include vat, lei, eori and duns. The primary identifier is stamped on new passports; changing it does not rewrite passports already issued.

Facilities

Where the product was made, identified for example by a GS1 Global Location Number:

odal facility add --name "Plant 1" --scheme gln --value 4012345000009 --country DE --default
odal facility list

The default facility is stamped on new passports.

Nothing is silently overwritten

Retiring, restoring or changing the primary identifier or default facility is recorded on an append-only provenance trail:

odal operator-id audit <id>
odal facility audit <id>
