GS1 Applications Logistics Units

GS1 Applications Logistics Units

Definition of Logistics Unit An item of any composition established for transport and/or storage which needs to be managed through the supply chain Logistic units are individually identified with the SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) 2

Logistic Unit and a Trade Item, understanding the difference. Trade items: Any item (product or service) upon which there is a need to retrieve predefined information and that may be priced or ordered or invoiced at any point in the supply chain Logistic units: An item of any composition established for transport and/or storage which needs to be managed though the supply chain

Identifying logistic units The SSCC allows to exchange all the necessary information using ecom. The transaction information can then be accessed by scanning the bar coded SSCC on the logistic unit using Application Identifiers and accessing the relevant ecom message. 4

Minimizing costs Cross docking Get nearer to customers and suppliers OUR MAIN FOCUS Aggregating loads Avoiding empty running Arranging delivery to reduce waiting times Negotiating lower rates Using smaller vehicles Analysing total costs Determine the critical factors per customers and identify trade-offs Requiring reductions in the cost per unit as the size of shipment increases 7

GS1 SSCC Serial Shipping Container Code

Using SSCCs The SSCC is a standard for the individual identification of logistic units. Logistic units can be pallets, barrels, crates, containers,.. The SSCC can be used by all parties in the supply chain as a KEY to the relevant information communicated electronically 9

SSCC Serial Shipping Container Code The SSCC is assigned for the life time of the transport item and is a mandatory element on the GS1 Logistic Label using Application Identifier (00) The SSCC is constructed as: Extension Digit GS1 Company Prefix Serial reference Check Digit N 1 N 2 N 3 N 4 N 5 N 6 N 7 N 8 N 9 N 10 N 11 N 12 N 13 N 14 N 15 N 16 N 17 N 18 10

Allocating SSCC The SSCC allows partners to exchange all the necessary information using ecom. Each individual logistic unit is allocated an SSCC which remains the same for the life of the logistic unit. An individual SSCC number must not be reallocated within one year (or even longer depending on product ) 11

CUSTOMER Combined with ecom, the SSCC provides a link between the information flow and the physical flow of goods SUPPLIER Information flow EDI Dispatch Advice SSCC 1 = R, K, Z, M SSCC 2 = M, W, O, P SSCC 3 = W, X, Y, Z SSCC 1 = R, K, Z, M SSCC 2 = M, W, O, P SSCC 3 = W, X, Y, Z SSCC 1 SSCC 2 SSCC 3 R K M W W X Z M O P Y Z TRANSPORTER 14

GS1 LOGISTICS LABEL

The GS1 Logistics Label A voluntary standard for the numbering and bar coding of logistic units. Provides clear and concise information about the logistic unit to which the label is fixed, in both machine and human readable form. GS1 LOGISTICS LABEL SSCC : 2 541234 0089765002 4 COUNT : CONTENT : BATCH : 64 0541234 5678908 879654 ( 0 2 ) 0 5 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 8 ( 3 7 ) 6 4 ( 1 0 ) 8 7 9 6 5 4 ( 0 0 ) 2 5 4 1 2 3 4 0 0 8 9 7 6 5 0 0 2 4 17

Benefits of GS1 Logistics Label Global and multi-industry standard Widely used on pallets in FMCG GS1-128 allows the most accurate form of data capture Cost saving achieved by standard label layout Link between the physical flow of goods (bar code scanned) and the information flow (EDI) 18

Logistics Label Mandatory features Use of GS1-128 Symbology and Application Identifiers. An SSCC encoded in the lowest symbol on the label. A unique SSCC for each individual logistics units for the lifetime of that unit. 19

Optional data about the content of the Logistics Unit GTIN using AI (01) - Identification number of Logistic Unit as a trade item (e.g. if the pallet is orderable) GTIN using AI (02) Identification number of items contained on the Logistics Unit (e.g. if the cases are orderable) Additional manufacturing information related to the GTIN (date, batch number,...) Mandatory measures (e.g. Net Weight) for Variable Measure Trade Items 20

Optional data when transporting loads Many options are available including the following: Destination information AI (410) Ship to Global Location Number (GLN) AI (420) & (421) Ship to Postal code AI (403) Routing Code for parcels Human-readable information sender consignee delivery date carrier 21
