WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Premises Server, Version 6.1.x

Adding pack types

Use the Profile Configuration feature in the WebSphere® Premises Server Administrative Console to create new pack types for profiles. You use these pack types in the Print, Verify, and Ship Reference User Interface.

Procedure
  1. Open the WebSphere Premises Server Administrative Console. The Welcome page displays.
  2. Click EPC Configuration Profile Configuration from the left panel. The EPC Profiles panel displays.
  3. Click the profile for which you are creating a new pack type. The Edit EPC Profile Details Panel displays.
  4. In the Available Packaging Types box, select Add new packtype. The Pack Type Configuration panel displays.
  5. Enter the pack type in the Packaging Type field.
  6. Type a brief description of this pack type in the Description field.
  7. In the Input Type field, select the input format of the product codes you are including in this pack type.
  8. In the Company Prefix Length field, select the number of digits in the company prefix for this pack type.
  9. In the Encoding Type field, select the algorithm to use when converting from the specified input type to the EPC-compliant output type.
  10. Select a filter value from the Filter Value field. Filter values are two- to four-digit codes that identify the pack type. In the EPCglobal standard, filter rules are used for filtering and pre-selecting basic logistic types such as inner packs, cases, and pallets.
  11. Type a one-digit code from 0-9 in the Indicator/Extension Digit field, if necessary. The indicator digit is specific to the manufacturer and identifies packing levels for SGTIN encoding types. The extension digit is used by SSCC encoding types to extend the range of serial numbers.
  12. If appropriate, select one or more pack types from the Contained Pack Type field. Use the <CTRL> key to select more than one pack type. A contained pack type refers to a pack type that is a subset of a larger pack type. For example, if you are creating pack type Pallet64-011, you might have a contained pack type of CASE64-001 because a case can be part of a larger pallet.
    Note: Any pack type can have zero or more contained pack types.
  13. Select a print template from the Default Print Template field. You must have already created at least one print template on the Print Templates panel in the WebSphere Premises Server Administrative Console. For more information on creating print templates, see Creating print templates.
    Note: The template you select automatically displays in the Label field on the Print panel of the Print, Verify, and Ship Reference User Interface when you select this pack type.
  14. Click Create. The pack type is saved and available for selection in the Print module of the Print, Verify, and Ship Reference User Interface.
  15. Go to the next section, Configuring profiles, to create a customer profile containing these pack types.
