Within the GS1 standard, AIs are used to prefix the encoded data. In the Terminal WebApps, we use 14-digit numeric characters as bar codes and the AI "01" denotes the alphanumeric information to match a specific code to the item master data. In the Terminal we use the following application identifiers to match item codes when using bar codes:

These AIs are added to the 14-digit code to make up the entire bar code information.

Note: the AI(400) allows the input of only 29 characters instead of the 100 available in SAP in the Header tab. To be able to use this AI for Customer Purchase Order Number information, reduce characters to max. 29.

For further Application Identifiers see Application Identifier Values.

In SAP B1 it is possible to create bar codes for the single items in Inventory > Bar Codes. Besides Item number filtering, there is a button "Bar Code List" to help manage bar codes. Once the 14-digit numeric code is saved in the system, the item number is ready for bar code generation according to the GS1 standard.

Examples:

1. Bar code for serial-managed item with the serial name at the end of the string:

(01) + the fourteen-digit bar code stored in SAP + (21) + serial name

2. Bar code for a batch-managed item with the batch number at the end of the string:

(01) + the fourteen-digit bar code stored in SAP + (10) + Batch number

3. To generate Quantity in the end of the bar code, place backslash as an end of string character + add the number of items to the string. The following example is a bar code for a batch-managed item with batch number and quantity at the end of the string:

(01) + the fourteen-digit bar code stored in SAP + (10) + Batch number + (30) + quantity.
In this case the bar code reads 23 items in Batch01 to process in the terminal.

In the following section you can see examples of how the 14-digit GTIN (EAN) code is constructed with application identifiers in the defined fields of certain webapps.

Example 1:

Stock Transfer:

0101234567891552100528Ê305

01 – ItemCode Identification

10 – Batch Identification

Ê30 - Quantity

1. Add the bar code in the Item No field of the Line tab:

2. Bar code is read by WebApp as follows:

Example 2:

Goods Receipt PO:

0101234567891552100528Ê305

01 – ItemCode Identification over Bar code ID from the item

10 – Batch Identification

Ê30 - Quantity

1. Add the bar code in the Filter field of the Lines tab:

2. Bar code is read by WebApp as follows:

Example 3

Goods Issue:

0101234567891552100528Ê305

01 – Item Code Identification

10 – Batch Identification

Ê30 - Quantity

1. Add bar code in the Item No field of the Line tab:

2. Bar code is read by the WebApps as follows:

Zebra TC20 is able to scan Multi-line bar codes. To do so, the function has to be activated in the device. Once activated, the device is ready to read the pre-defined number of bar codes to complete a sequence.
 
Note: the scanner can only be used to scan multi-line bar codes or single bar codes at a time.

Device configuration to scan a number of bar codes:

1. Open Apps search on Zebra TC20

2. Tap the App "DataWedge" See image 1. below.

3. Tap the default Profile.

4. Select the "Reader params" menu item.

5. Scroll down to select "Scanning Modes". It is possible to define a "Single" or "MultiBarcode" function. See image 2. below.

6. Go back to the main menu and select "Multibarcode params" option to define the number of bar codes. See image 3. and 4. below.
