How to set up and use SSCC codes in Food Manufacturing & Distribution

You can set up a container to automatically generate an SSCC code. The SSCC code is a standardized code that uniquely identifies a container. To support SSCC codes, a number of changes have been made in Food Manufacturing & Distribution.

GS1 code on the Company Information page

On the Company Information page, a new GS1 Company Prefix field is added. This field has a length of 12 and must be at least four characters long.

The page already contains a GLN Code field. The leading digits of the GLN code must match the GS1 code, otherwise the GLN Code field is cleared when you enter a valid GS1 code. If the GS1 code is available, a new value for the GLN code is checked against it.
