Serial Number

1. Serial Number Creation process value.

Enter a code that indicates what type of serial number the system generates for cartons. Values are:

Leave blank and the system does not create serial numbers for cartons.

Enter 1: to create serial numbers based on the UCC-128 standard.

Enter 2: to create serial numbers from next numbers setup in P4625 Label Next Numbers.

Enter 3: to create serial numbers based on Electronic Product Code, EPC, standard.

Enter 4: to create two serial numbers, one after the UCC-128 SSCC standard and the other after the Electronic Product Code, EPC, standard.

Enter 5: to create two serial numbers, one after the setup in P4625 Label Next Numbers and the other after the Electronic Product Code, EPC, standard.

2. Company UCC Code to use for SSCC Number generation.

Enter a UDC (41/UC) to indicate what type of Company UCC Code to use for SSCC Number generation. Leave blank and the system uses the first UDC entry for 41/UC.

3. Document Type to use to retrieve the Serial Number for SSCC Number generation.

Enter a UDC (00/DT) that identifies the origin and purpose of the transaction. Several prefixes are reserved for document types, such as vouchers, invoices, receipts, and timesheets. The reserved document type prefixes for codes are:

Leave blank to use next number 40/08.

4. Document Key Company to use to retrieve the Serial Number for the SSCC number generation.

Enter a number that, along with order number and order type, uniquely identifies an order document (such as a purchase order, a contract, a sales order, and so on).

If you use the Next Numbers by Company/Fiscal Year facility, the Automatic Next Numbers program (X0010) uses the order company to retrieve the correct next number for that company. If two or more order documents have the same order number and order type, the order company lets you locate the desired document.

If you use the regular Next Numbers facility, the order company is not used to assign a next number. In this case, you probably would not use the order company to locate the document.

Leave blank to use next number 40/08.

5. Function to use for SSCC number generation. Function Generate SSCC Number is available.

Enter GenerateSSCCNumber to generate SSCC numbers.

Leave blank and the system does not generate SSCC numbers.

6. Function Name to use for SSCC number validation. Function Calculate UCC128 Check Digit is available.

Enter CalculateUCC128CheckDigit to generate SSCC names.

Leave blank and the system does not generate SSCC names.

7. Use Carton Label Preference.

Enter 1: to use the Carton Label Preference (Advanced Preference #39). You can use the Carton Label Preference to determine which carton types (setup in P46091) are assigned serial numbers. If the preference is not being used, serial numbers are assigned to all cartons. If UCC-128 SSCC numbers are being created, the preference can be set up to generate either a Tare or Pack SSCC for the carton type.

Leave blank and the system does not use Carton Label Preference.
