Setup
SSCC Setup
Choose the Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature, enter SSCC Setup. You will then have the ability to configure the SSCC Management app.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| SSCC Prefix | A free-to-define prefix (up to 20 characters) prepended to each SSCC number. This is typically a company-unique number provided by an authorized authority (e.g., a GS1 company prefix). |
| SSCC Serie N° | A number series used to generate sequential SSCC numbers. The combined length of SSCC Prefix + SSCC Serie N° can be up to 20 digits, depending on country-specific usage. |
| Calc. SSCC GS1 Key Digit | When enabled, the application automatically calculates and appends the GS1 check digit to the SSCC number. The combined prefix and serial number must be exactly 17 characters before the check digit is added. |
| Default Package Type | The package type that is automatically proposed when creating a new SSCC number. You should create package types using the SSCC Package Type List before assigning a default. |
From the SSCC Setup page, use the Navigate menu to access:
- Locations — to configure warehouse locations.
- Package Types — to manage the list of available package types.
Package Types
From the SSCC Setup page, choose the Package Types action. Using this list, you can define as many package types as you wish.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | A unique identifier for the package type (e.g., PLT for pallet, BOX for carton). |
| Description | A free-text description of the package type. |
| Standard Weight | Defines the net weight of the packaging unit itself. It does not include the weight of the goods. It should be expressed in the same unit of measure as the item’s weight. |
| External Code | An optional code used to map the package type to a shipping company’s own coding. This field is hidden by default and is visible only when applicable. |
| Item No. | An optional link to a specific item in the system, allowing the package type to be associated with a product. This field is hidden by default. |
Important: A package type cannot be deleted if it has already been used on at least one SSCC.
Location Setup
SSCC assignment can be enabled per location, providing a flexible setup. Open the specific Location Card you want to enable, then toggle on the Enable Outgoing SSCC Management option.
This option is found in the SSCC Management group on the Location Card.
Note: This option cannot be enabled if there are currently open picking activities (Inventory Picks or Warehouse Picks) in progress for that location. You must first complete or post all outstanding picks before activating SSCC management.
