Payment
Slips
EAN
International in conjunction with representatives of banks, utility
service providers and retailers have developed a voluntary standard
for applications of bar codes on Payment Slips.
This
standard is based on the use of EAN•UCC Application Identifiers
and utilises the UCC/EAN-128 bar code symbology
. It is a complement to and should be read in conjunction with:
- EANCOM
, the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standard providing implementation
guidelines of UN/EDIFACT messages.
Organisations
wishing to automate the Payment Process may use this standard as
a basis to produce specific implementation guidelines pertinent
to their particular application. These implementation guidelines
will consider issues such as domestic versus international payments
and local banking laws.
The
use of the EAN•UCC numbering and bar coding standards has
led to major innovations in the retail sector. The use of EAN•UCC
bar codes has enabled the automation of the retail Point of Sale
(POS). Studies have shown that the bar coding of goods reduces the
amount of time required to process a transaction, increases the
accuracy of data and enables efficient Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI).
This
success has led other industries to introduce EAN•UCC bar
code scanning and EDI into their business processes. One such application
of the EAN•UCC system is the automation of the payment for
billable services.
