The SSCC is comprised of an Extension Digit, a GS1 Company Prefix, a Serial Reference, and a Check Digit. The structure of this unique identification can be set up on the Company SSCC Setup page.


The 18 digits of the SSCC number are formed by combining the Extension Digit, GS1 Company Prefix, and Serial Reference Nos. field values on the Customer SSCC Setup and Company SSCC Setup.

The following procedures describe how to perform this activity.
