Serial Number Profile details

The following table defines the fields on the Create New Serial Number Profile and Edit Serial Number Profile panels.

Fields

Field Description
EPCglobal ID URI type The ID URI that you indicated displays. This ID is the universal resource identifier for the serial number.
EAN, UCC company prefix (For ID URI types sgtin, sscc, grai, and giai.) The company prefix that is part of the URI. It is associated with a specific pack type.
Extension digit (For ID URI type sscc.) While similar in function to an indicator digit, see below, EAN.UCC gives them different names.
Indicator digit (For ID URI type sgtin.) A numeric value in the URI that differentiates between containers.
Asset type (For ID URI type grai.) A numeric value used to define a returnable asset such as a pallet, keg, or other carrier.
Item reference (For ID URI type sgtin.) The reference number to associate with the product for which you are creating or modifying the serial number.
Dept. of Defense CAGE/DoDAAC (For ID URI type usdod.) CAGE, Commercial And Government Entity, is a five-position, alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies a company that is registered to do business with the U.S Dept. of Defense. It serves the same purpose as a EAN.UCC company prefix, but the numbers are managed by the DoD, not EAN.UCC. DoDAAC (Dept. of Defense Activity Address Code) is a unique six-position, alphanumeric string that uniquely identifies departments, locations, units, and so on within the military. This identifier serves the same purpose as a company prefix, but it is managed by the DoD, not EAN.UCC. CAGE is a company prefix for civilian suppliers to the DoD, DoDAAC is a company prefix for military divisions within the DoD.
EPC global General Manager Number (For ID URI type gid.) The EPCglobal general manager number is a number assigned by EPCglobal to a subscriber who has requested it for creating a GID. It is similar to a company prefix in that it is a six- through 12-digit number, but you cannot use a company prefix as a general manager number; you must request a separate one from EPCglobal.
Object class (For ID URI type gid.) Object class is a numeric string that identifies a "class" of similar objects for which you can create a GID. The general manager number + object class + serial number creates a unique GID that can be used to encode an EPC that uses GID-96 encoding.
Allocate to Enter the item to which you are assigning this serial number. This field enables you to manage serial number ranges for a given product across one or more locations.
Description Enter a description of the item to which you are allocating the serial number.
Start serial number Enter the starting EPC serial number.
End serial number Enter the ending EPC serial number.
Increment Enter the number by which to increase the serial number for each new serial number within the range.
