E-WMS - Supported GS1-128 (EAN128) application identifiers
Introduction
This document describes what GS1-128 (former EAN128) 'Application Identifiers' are supported and recognized by E-WMS.
Description
A GS1-128 barcode can contain several types of information in one barcode, this creates the possibility to scan product code, batch code and quantity in just one scan.
Each part of the barcode is identified by an 'Application Identifier' (AI),
in the sample above these are used:
02 Product identification EAN13 (14 digits)
15 batch end date (translates
as December 1, 2011)
37 quantity (100)
$ group separator
10 batch
code (09071)
AI's can be divided in two types:
- AI's with a fixed length (like '02' and '15')
- AI's with a variable length (like '37' and '10')
To mark the 'end' of an AI with variable length, a invisible
'separator' (GS1-128 'data terminator') is included in the barcode, unless
the AI is the last part of the barcode.
In the barcode sample above, this separator is
the '$' sign placed behind the quantity (0100).
This separator will be
visible in a scanner barcode in E-WMS by the configured
group separator.
The GS1-128 system knows many AI's (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GS1-128),
the most commonly used are supported by the WMS ASP hand terminal software:

From PU422 onwards the 23n logic is followed. Example: A bar code contains $233123. “23” is the application identifier, “3” represents the number of digits of the lot number, and “123” is the lot number.

*1: A SSCC number is recognized by E-WMS in Sales order fulfilment (to
scan SKU numbers issued from, and to scan and register SSCC numbers used for shipping),
and
in general WMS processes when using E-WMS SKU Management, to scan SKU numbers.
*2: Control digits (last digit in item GTIN or in SSCC number) are not validated
as such when scanned in E-WMS.
Quantity and weight
When one scanned barcode contains multiple AI's for the same target field
(quantity), then the
numerical first AI will be applied.
So when a barcode contains both '30' and
'310x' then 30 will be applied and '310x' will be ignored.
Recognized but not supported
The following EAN128 application identifiers are recognized but not
supported in E-WMS, since recognition can be required to decode a complete
EAN128 bar code.
