Set Up Serial Shipping Container Codes

You need to set up the parameters that define how the Serial Shipping Container Codes app works.

This page can also be set up from the Set up serial shipping container codes assisted setup.

The serial shipping container code (SSCC) consists of the following:

• Application Identifier (00): AI indicates that the data field contains SSCC.

• Extension Digit (Open Position No.): Ranges from 0 to 9 and is assigned by the company that constructs the SSCC.

• GS1 Company Prefix: Globally unique number issued to your company by the GS1 member organization. It varies in length (7 to 9 digits).

• Serial Reference (Sequential Nos.): A number assigned by your company based on a numbering series.

• Check Digit: One-digit number used for data integrity.
