AI(00) uniquely identifies logistic units. It also enables you to identify trade items which are packed differently from one transport package to another, for example, where trade items are picked and packed to meet individual orders. This supports operations such as despatch, distribution, and receiving non-standardized packages.
The Extension Digit is used to increase the capacity of the serial reference within the SSCC. It is assigned by the company that constructs the SSCC.
The GS1 Company Prefix used should belong to the company originating the logistic unit, which is not always the brand owner. It makes the SSCC unique worldwide but does not identify the origin of the unit. If you have obtained a prefix to allocate twelve-digit GTINs either directly from GS1 US , GS1 Canada or via GS1 Australia, you must add a filler zero to the front of the prefix after the Extension Digit.
The Serial Reference is structured at the discretion of the company responsible for its assignment to uniquely identify each transport package. The method used to allocate the serial reference is at the discretion of the company bar coding the unit.
The Check Digit is mathematically calculated and ensures the whole number is correct. Correct calculation is essential for successful scanning of the barcode symbol. Check digit is added automatically.
