This is a sample xml containing a pallet, case, and each item add transaction. Additionally it contains 2 link transactions to link the pallet to the case, and the case to the each. Finally the pallet level is published to a series of recipients. This is referred to as a “gold” item because it contains all possible attributes on the item add transactions. The second link is the same file, however all fields are not padded out to their maximum lengths, making the file somewhat much smaller.
