Using SSCC-codes in NAV Food
The SSCC code (Serial Shipping Container Code) is an 18-digit number created to uniquely identify a logistics unit (a container). The SSCC code contains the GS1 company prefix, a serial number and, a prefix-code and a check-digit.
The SSCC-code is usually displayed in a barcode-form, where it is preceded by an Application Identifier. This is a 2 or 3 digit code that is a reference to the type of code we are looking at. For an SSCC-code it is 00.
In order to easily print a UCC128 barcode of the SSCC code, the container license plate in NAV Food contains the SSCC-code, preceded by the 00 identifier. The licenseplate ID remains the number assigned from the number series, the licenseplate number, which is used in the transactions in NAV Food, can be set up as a SSCC code.
