Printing company M has the print job for its customer produced by printing partner G for capacity reasons. For this purpose, M orders the required paper from the paper supplier. However, printing partner G orders the paper directly from the same paper supplier. After production, G delivers the finished but not yet processed brochure back to the production facility of printing company M. The latter produces the semi-finished product (flat printed sheets) into a finished print product (wire-stitched brochure) during further processing. This is because he has to add another printed product to the brochure.
Is a separate DDS required for each sub-product – printing the semi-finished product and producing the brochure from the semi-finished product?

Hello Lisa
Thank you very much for your detailed feedback. What I left out of my scenario.Both companies are affected in the first wave due to their size.
The question is aimed at determining whether the last company in the supply chain, which does the mailing for export to the DACH region, is responsible for the DDS or whether the client (in this case printing company M) must pass this on to its service provider (in this case printing company G) in terms of order processing. I have not yet found any reference to this use case in EU Traces.
Kind regards, Matteo
