AI(240) is used for the coding of additional item identification assigned by the manufacturer. The data is structured at the discretion of the issuing company. The purpose of AI(240) is to enable identification data other than the GTIN to be represented in a GS1 Bar Code Symbol. It is a cross-reference to previously used catalogue numbers. The additional item identification is considered as an attribute of the GTIN e.g. to facilitate migration to the GS1 System during a transitional period. However, it must not be used to replace the GTIN.

AI (240) must always be used in conjunction with AI(01) - Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), or with the combined AI(02) - GTIN of Trade Items Contained in a Logistic Unit and AI(37) - Count of Trade Items Contained in a Logistic Unit.

For more information please contact your GS1 office in you country.

FNC1: All GS1 Application Identifiers of variable length shall be delimited unless this Element String is the last one to be encoded in the symbol.
