How to format a Generic UPC
Format of GS1 standards• All GS1 numbers (UPC, GTIN, SSCC, GLN)
essentially have 3 parts:– Company Prefix = a number assigned and managed by GS1
that uniquely identifies a company from any other company across the globe.
– Reference Number = assigned by the owner of the Company Prefix to identify what is being numbered (e.g. a pallet, a case, an item, a location, etc.)
– Check Digit = an algorithm that serves as a “checks and balances” to ensure preceding digits were entered correctly.
NOTE: All three parts must not be separated in order to maintain uniqueness
