All Rights Reserved. www.infor.com Composite Barcode Usage This covers two phases:- The use of predefined Application Identifiers in a single barcode (e.g. a GS1-formatted barcode) The capability to define composite barcodes (e.g. a locally printed inventory label containing a label with the item number and serial number combined into one barcode) In 6.01, only the first of these phases is included, and only for the M3 ERP Product The second phase and support for LN and SyteLine ERPs will be delivered in later Factory Track releases

It is a single barcode containing multiple elements, each of them prefixed by an Application Identifier (AI). The AIs are internationally-agreed standards used in GS1 AIs are two, three or four digit numbers identifying the purpose of the subsequent data Examples of GS1 barcodes are The AIs are represented as being enclosed in parentheses. In these examples, 01 relates to the item number or GTIN Code, 10 the lot number, 15 the best before date and 17 the expiration date

All Rights Reserved. www.infor.com GS1 Barcodes - continued Factory Track needs to Be able to interpret any combination of AIs in a single barcode – allocating the associated data to the appropriate fields on the form (and disregarding any unnecessary information) Allow multiple GS1 barcodes to be scanned for a specific transaction – GS1 labels can be attached to products by suppliers so the AIs are consistent but the actual layout is liable to differ. One supplier might have a single GS1 barcode containing the container number (00), item number(01) and lot(10). Another supplier might have exactly the same information printed in two separate barcodes Factory Track needs to be able to handle both of these scenarios automatically

All Rights Reserved. www.infor.com Standard GS1 AI Logic All GS1 Application Identifiers are two, three or four digits in length If two-digit, those two digits are not used for three or four-digit AIs e.g. 00 identifies the Container (SSCC) Number, 10 the Lot (Batch) Number – there are no 3 or 4 digit AIs starting with 00 or 10 If three-digit, those three digits are not used for four digit AIs e.g. 241 identifies the Customer Part Number, 400 the Customer Purchase Order Number – there are no 4-digit AIs starting with 241 or 400 (and there are no 2-digit AIs of 24 or 40) If four-digit, the fourth digit often identifies the number of decimals if the AI relates to a quantitative field e.g. 3101 identifies the Net Weight in KG with one decimal place, 3102 is the same but with two decimals, meaning that (3101)123456 identifies the weight as 12345.6 KG. (3102)123456 identifies it as 1234.56 KG

The scanner must have the ‘return prefix’ option turned on. This tells the system what type of barcode has been scanned so that the correct interpretative logic is invoked Scan Formats – used to define the AIs associated with a type of barcode Transaction Field Scan Mapping – used to map data related to AIs with fields on a form Composite Barcode Label Formats (Phase 2) – used to define locally-used fixed format barcodes Composite Barcode Transaction Label Mapping (Phase 2) – used to map data read from composite barcodes to fields on a form

All Rights Reserved. www.infor.com Barcode IDs Barcode IDs identify the type of barcode being scanned Each prefix is linked to a type to be used when interpreting the barcode For example, a barcode beginning with a ]C1 or ]D1 prefix will be interpreted in exactly the same way, as a GS1 barcode, even though one of them is a Code-128 barcode and the other is a Data Matrix one
