In response, we have:

1. Archived the predecessors (2010=100, January 1976 to June 2018) by renaming with an "_10" specifier, by marking the metadata as "discontinued", and by segregating in the catalog.
2. Created one-for-one replacements (2015=100, from January 2000).
3. Extended the CDASA series backwards to 1991.
4. Assigned standardized mnemonics
5. Refurbished the catalog.

Active dataset properties:

• Measurement: Fixed-based index relative to 2015 (Index 2015=100)
• Adjustment: Calendar day adjusted and seasonally adjusted (CDASA) or not seasonally adjusted (NSA) ("raw")
• Native frequency: Monthly
• Start date: January 2000
• Lag: 2 months
• Subject to revisions: Yes

The series reside in the historical catalog (Germany » Price » Producer price index) and include, for example:

• PPIDTTCM.IDEU     = [DISCONTINUED] Producer price index: Domestic sales - Industrial products - Total, (Index 2010=100, CDASA)
• PPIDMTXENGCM.IDEU = All industrial products excl. energy sources, (Index 2015=100, CDASA)
• PPIDMTTUM.IDEU    = All industrial products, (Index 2015=100, NSA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
