When creating a Clock delivery, you send an clock EAB to the auction. All kinds of information can be found on this auction note. In this article, we will explain the different fields on the note.


The Clock EAB

An example of an clock EAB can be seen in the image below. We will deal with the various sections in the note below.


Step-by-step explanation

  • Barcode: This barcode is used to register a trolley. When this arrives at the location, it only has to be scanned by means of this barcode.

  • Certificate: The certificates that Floricode recognises can be seen under the barcode.

  • QR code: When the QR code is scanned, you can see which lots are on the trolley.


  • Grower number - Aanvoerder: The grower number is the unique number with which you, as grower, may offer the trade items at the auction.

  • Letter number - Briefnummer: The unique number assigned to this letter.

    + display letter sequence number: When multiple letters are created, this box indicates the sequence.

  • Date - Veildatum: The date on which the clock delivery takes place displayed in day/month/year.

  • Auction group - Veilgroep: The auction group is displayed here, on the basis of the standard codes that Royal FloraHolland has drawn up for for flowers and plants.nten.

  • Quality group - Kwaliteit: The group in which the product is traded in accordance with the VBN supply regulations.

  • Supply method - Aanvoer: This concerns the way in which logistics are organised, for example BLO ('not through logistics’). This field may be blank when printing the note, but the information will be included via the QR code.

  • End location - Eindvestiging: The abbreviation RBG stands for Rijnsburg as end location.

  • Type: The type shows what kind of delivery it is. An MP (mix lot), GP (large lot), or 1P (one lot).

  • Individual shelves (total) - Legborden: Total number of individual shelves in the delivery.


The information about the trade items or lots to be auctioned can be found in this section, such as the number of sales units, the number of items per sales unit, the product code, the product description and the grading code.


  • Top copy: If the note is part of a top copy, the number of the top copy can be found here.

  • Total sales units: The total number of sales units of the different trade items/lots.

  • Phytosanitary registration number: You only have to set up this number once and it will be in the plant passport and on the auction note.
