Counter identifier

This parameter is used to define the codification of parcels or SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code) numbers.
The SSCC codes are defined over 18 numbers, according to a codification composed of:

• A fixed root specified by the SSCCROOT - Root of SSCC code parameter, which can contain from 7 to 10 characters (E, P and F columns below)
• A code specified using the sequence number counter defined by the SSCCCOU - Counter identifier parameter, which can contain from 7 to 10 numbers depending on the size defined for the root (N column below)
• A control key (C column below)

The codification structure is as follows:

Root:

• E
  Extension character. It can be used to increase the SSCC codification capacity. It is defined by the SSCC issuer.
• P
  Prefix, defined by the EAN (European Article Numbering) It identifies the country of the company which creates the number.
• F
  CNUF national supplier code for France (Code National Unifié Fournisseur).

Sequence number counter:

• N
  Sequential number This number must be unique for a ship-from supplier over a period of one year. If the codification capacity allows it, this number can start with the internal product interface code (French CIF - Code Interface Produit).
• C
  Control key calculated automatically using the 17 previous numbers, according to the standard EAN algorithm

Level of localization/Global variable

This parameter is defined at the level Site. It belongs to Chapter STO (Inventory) and the Group MIS (Miscellaneous), The following parameters are also associated with this chapter and group :

• FEALOTLEV (Characteristic level of lot)
• GENSHT (Generate shortages)
• INQMVSLTI (Transaction inquiry history)
• LOCSUG (Suggested locations)
• LOCTYPSEQ (Location type sequence)
• MFGMTSNUM (Automatic WO transaction)
• SCOPTRNUM (Automatic EO transaction)
• SHTDLV (Delivery of shortage qties)
• SSCCROOT (Root of SSCC code)
• STOADMIN (Stock administrator)
• STODISSCO (Subcontract stock)
• STOTRACE (Stock update trace level)
• STOTRK (Traceability)
• WIPSTOLCK (Blocked qties in process of put-away)

Its values are defined by the function Structures.

The global variable GSSCCCOU is associated with it.

Linked parameters

Comments

Once these parameters are defined, the SSCC code is automatically assigned in parcel creation mode and cannot be entered.
