Using Reserved Filter Values and Validation

Former Member

a customer of ours wishes to use two of the reserved filter values in the SSCC-96 spec (3 and 4) to denote case and pallet (please don't comment on this- it was their decision). in any event, in customizing/basic settings/define ID versions i copied the SSCC-96 encoding type to a new encoding type ZSSCC-96 and gave this new encoding the filter values of 3 and 4 for case and pallet respectively.

the problem i am having is this- when i use the mobile screens for packing and unpacking, AII is checking the filter value against the original SSCC-96 encoding and telling me that the filter value is invalid. does anybody know were this checking is configured and where i can add the new filter values?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Rob,

For the ZSSCC encoding type, make sure the ID format header is also different from the standard sscc encoding type.

Select ZSSCC and go to format header and ensure the header for both tag uri and pure id zsscc is maintained in place of sscc.

Also in encoding type scree, change the prefix of the URN format, the same way you changed in header format.

Now try, I think it should accept.

In the end, the solution above did not work; however, i wanted to post the final solution just in case anybody out there is having the same problem.

In customizing, I copied the entire EPC_1.30 spec and named it ZPC_1.30 and then modified the SSCC to have the appropriate filter values...this way i was able to keep the proper sscc info in the epc header. the ZSSCC solution did not work because two encodings can not, for obvious reasons, share the same EPC encoding type header value. In other words, you can't have two SSCC encodings.
