Explanation

This activity is used to enter the Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) company prefix and also to define an extension digit for pallet types. The company prefix is a number given by the GS1 system, for each company. The GS1 system is a leading global organization dedicated to the design and implementation of global standards and solutions to improve the efficiency and transparency of supply and demand chains globally and across sectors.
