This Symbology is also known as Australia Post Domestic eParcel Article Barcode

Australia Post uses Domestic eParcel barcode for tracking consignments which are defined as a number or articles of the same product/service type, consigned to the same delivery address, and lodged at the same time. The Australia Post Domestic eParcel Barcode features the following format or structure:

• Australia Post ID / RSD Trigger: 3-digit which must be always "997"
• RSD Application ID: 3-digit, "016" for eParcel Post returns or "001" for all other services
• Product Code: 2-digit numeric ID that defines the eParcel sub-product type. This should be associated with the appropriate Charge code.
• Eye-readable Article No. (16-chars):
  • Merchant Location ID: 3-alphanumeric identifier provided by Australia Post to uniquely identify a lodgement location. A single customer may have multiple location IDs
  • Consignment Suffix: 7-digit ID which is provided by the customer. Allows a possible 10000000 cons. per Merchant Location before reuse of numbers is required
  • Article Suffix: 2-digit Position of article in consignment (eg. 01 is the first article, 02 the second etc. up to 20)
  • Service Code: 2-digit numeric ID that defines any special delivery conditions: "Signature compulsory", "Partial delivery allowed", "Cash To Collect" or "Call For Returns"
  • Last Article Indicator: 1-digit which indicates whether the article is the last of an eParcel consignment or not. Used by the scanner software to support the Consignment Management process: 1 = Not the last article in a multi-parcels con, 2 = Single consignment or last article in a multi-parcels consignment
  • Human readable check digit: 1-digit which is used to verify the validity of the eye-readable Article ID. Neodynamic provides Barcode Utilities for calculating this value.
