 GS1 application identifiers & ID keys - (Code - GS1000-EL0018)

This course will help you understand the key principles of GS1 identification. You will learn how the numbers are structured and how various data elements interrelate. Besides, this module also provides pointers to additional information sources. Topics discussed include:

• The seven GS1 Identification Keys:
  • GTIN (Global Trade Item Number)
  • GLN (Global Location Number)
  • SSCC (Serial Shipping Container Code)
  • GRAI (Global Returnable Asset Identifier)
  • GIAI (Global Individual Asset Identifier)
  • GSRN (Global Service Relationship Number)
  • GDTI (Global Document Type Identifier)
• GS1 Application Identifiers - a data dictionary for encoding information into GS1 Bar Codes and EPC Tags

 GS1 barcode applications: trade items - (Code - GS1000-EL0019)

This Application course combines the two technical concepts learnt in the two the foundation courses GS1 Application Identifiers & ID Keys and GS1 Bar Codes. It introduces the concept of 'Areas of Application' and covers the various requirements of Point-of-Sale, Supply Chain, Open & Restricted Circulation and introduces the increasingly important Healthcare area.

GS1 barcode applications: logistic units - (Code - GS1000-EL0023)

Barcoding of logistic units is a major application of GS1 standards. This module provides an overview of how to barcode logistic units. Two key aspects of GS1 standards are covered in this module -- Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC), which is used to identify the logistic unit and GS1 Logistics Label, which provides the format to encode the SSCC (and any other required data) on the logistic unit.

GTIN allocation for FMCG - (Code - GS1000-EL0024)

Consumer items are uniquely identified with the GS1 identification standard called Global Trade Identification Number (GTIN). This module covers critically important issues like how to assign a GTIN correctly, barcoding for a Retail point of sale, changes to retail products and GTIN allocation, handling promotions, product groupings, etc.
