Hi Amol,

The Serial Shipping Container Code (Handling-Unit-Code) is an 18-digit number used to identify logistics units

(standardized international despatch-code EAN-128)

This code is used for tracking and tracing in electronic commerce transactions in the supply chain.

This reference can be added to the logistical units as a barcode.

The SSCC is used in standard ERP applications and Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), of both suppliers and customers. These applications will exchange the SSCC codes in their EDI-communication.

Upon goodsreceipt of a pallet in the warehouse the barcodes will be scanned and the WMS will display the pallet item-content.
