In the Item Master, function GTIN-Codes, EAN codes by each different EAN codes (8, 13,14...) have all the time same quantity of characters (14)? Definition of GS1 Institution: EAN-8 has 8 digits, including a check digit EAN-13 has 13 digits, of which one check digit UPC-A has 12 digits, one of which is a check digit and more.....
Comments
We are implementing GTIN13 codes at a customer. The GTIN codes are printed on the labels and are used by the end-customer in their shops for product identification for instance at POS.
On the label, the 13 digit code is printed. All whs scanning flows are using the 13 digit GTIN code.
Since D365FO puts a leading zero to the GTIN13 code, we cannot use the code for scanning, since the 13 digit code is not recognized. Adding a leading zero to the barcode is no option, since this will make the barcode unusable during the supply chain (distributors, wholesalers, stores).
Why is this leading zero added to the GTIN code? This is really annoying for interfaces as well, where we have to take the leading zero's away.

Thank you for your feedback.
We need some more details to understand your suggestion better.
Could you please clarify with specific examples, how the current bar code implementation is causing you problems when using EAN codes?
Sincerely,
