Areas of Applications
Different areas of applications are covered by the EAN·UCC system.
These include: trade items, logistic units, assets and locations.
Those applications rely on standard numbering structures by which
all relevant items and their data can be identified. The numbers are
the keys to access databases and to identify unambiguously items handled,
in all messages of a transaction. Numbering are purely for identification
without any meaning in the number.
All information that describes a product or a service and its characteristic
are to be found in databases. They are communicated from a supplier
to a user once, before the first transaction either by using standard
messages or by consultation of electronic catalogues.
The numbers are represented in bar codes to allow automatic data capture
at each point where an item leaves or enter premises.
Bar codes are usually included in the production process, at the producer
site: they are either pre-printed with other information present in
the packaging, or a label is affixed on the item at the production
line.
The same numbers are also used in EDI messages to allow all information
on the transaction of the items thus identified, to be transferred
to the relevant partners. The standard numbering structures that are
provided guarantee world-wide uniqueness within the relevant area
of application. |
