SCC-14 Barcode

This Symbology is also known as Shipping Container Code, EAN/UCC 14, DUN-14, EAN-14, UCC-14, UPC Case Code, UPC Shipping Container Code, Distribution Unit Number 14, SCC14, DUN14, EAN14, UCC14, EAN/UCC-14, Despatch Unit Number 14, GTIN-14

Overview
SCC-14 (Shipping Container Code) is a 14-digit number assigned to fixed content shipping containers. The most widely used representation of SCC-14 is based on UCC/EAN-128 Barcode Symbology with the Application Identifier (AI) 01. However, other common implementation of SCC is called ITF-14.
The SCC-14 value to encode has the following structure:
  • 2 digits for UCC/EAN-128 Application Identifier (AI) which is always 01
  • 1 digit for Packaging indicator
  • 2 digits for UPC numbering system or EAN prefix
  • 5 digits for Manufacturer identification number
  • 5 digits for Item identification number
  • 1 digit for Checksum which is automatically calculated by BarcodeItem
The value to encode passed to BarcodeItem must be 15 digits with the following structure: 01 + 13 digits. The checksum is automatically calculated by BarcodeItem products.
