GS1-128–standard Bar Code Support |

|
Terminal WebApps version 2.1 uses GS1-128 (formerly UCC/EAN-128) global bar code standard to match item codes from the item master data.
Currently the following applications are supported by the GS1 standard: - Goods issue - Batch/Serial Inv. Info - Item Inv. Information - Whs. Inv. Information ((WO Goods Issue))
A GS1-128 symbol comprises of one or more Application Identifiers (AI) to indicate the type of data are encoded inside. For more information on GS1-128 open the link GS1-128 Bar codes.
Application Identifiers (AI) 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.
For further Application Identifiers see Application Identifier Values.
Bar code structure: 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 code 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.
