Hi,

By scanning a GS1 barcode it's possible to capture several information in one single scan. The information is devided by application identifiers, so the information can easily be allocated.The idea is to scan the Barcode or QR-code in one single scan and all fields are filled up with the corresponding information.

Important AI are:
- (01) Global Trade Item Number
- (240) Additional product identification assigned by the manufacturer
- (10) Batch or lot number
- (17) Expiration date
- (21) Serial number
- (30) Variable count of items

GS1 Application Identifiers:
https://www.gs1.org/docs/barcodes/GS1_General_Specifications.pdf

There should be the possibility to define, which AI should be processed in the warehousing app. For example the information of quantity shouldn't be used even if the information is provided on the code. Use case: Just scan one logistics unit to get Item number but the quantity is from purchase order.

By the way, there also should be a way to generate GS1 codes to print labels.

Regards,
Ronny
