EDI Shipping Labels

In a movement towards efficiency, a large amount of business correspondence, such as purchase orders and invoices, is now being digitally transmitted. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) refers to the standardized usage of common digital transactions between companies. Many organizations are rapidly implementing EDI programs, and requiring their vendors to participate.

A supplier receives a purchase order (850) from a retailer. As the goods are packaged, a unique SSCC-18 barcode label is generated and affixed to each shipping container. Each barcode label serves to identify the contents inside the container. After the order is completely packaged, the vendor transmits an advanced shipping notice (856) to the retailer, which itemizes the contents in every package to be received. When the shipment arrives at its destination, the contents of every package can be obtained by scanning the individual barcode label. The supplier sends an invoice (810) to the retailer.

Trading partnerships in an EDI environment require bar coding to be the bridge which links transaction sets with actual cartons. Bar Code Graphics, Inc. offers compliance solutions designed to incorporate the UCC-128 shipping label with EDI.
