Many AX / D365 customers have supply chain requirements that include scanning barcodes that are formatted to the GS1-128 standard. This includes barcodes that have multiple data elements where each element starts with an Application identifier and can either be fixed or variable length.
- For use with the D365 Warehouse App and WHSWorkExecute
- Parameters to signify special characters for "start of barcode", "end of barcode" and "end of variable length barcode segment"
- New table for GS1-128 Application identifiers e.g. 00 = SSCC (Licence plate), 10 = Batch etc.
- New table to map the Warehouse App fields to individual barcode segments e.g. 00 = Licence plate, 10 = Batch
- A single scan of a barcode that includes multiple data elements, each with its own GS1-128 Application identifier, will populate all associated fields, e.g. during Purchase receive, one scan will populate Batch + Batch date + Expiry date
- Scanning will include the removal of the Application identifier e.g. 00012345678012345678 will be processed as Licence plate = 012345678012345678
- Applies to all Warehouse App activities that involve the scan of a barcode
Comments
We've done this at a few clients. Leveraging the Retail Barcode Mask setup functionality seems like it would make sense.

Please incorporate a framework to handle GS1-128 which has flexibility to use and or define application identifiers. (AI). Commonly used in European Supply Chain.

Please build a framework which also supports Odette label standard used in EDI/ automotive/Volvo and more. Barcodes with identifiers
Data Identifiers
N = Advice Note Number
P = Part Number
Q = Quantity
V = Supplier ID
S = Simplified Handling Unit
M = Homogenous Handling Unit
G = Mixed Handling Unit
H = Batch Number

We have to a AX2012 customer created a form there we can setup which application identifiers we would read, and also mad it possible to connected to batch attributes/Test results.

I had to implement this on AX2009 with a custom web app for a produce company. They needed multiple items with quantities and batches on a single pallet. This client is considering upgrading to D365 and this one thing could be a deal breaker for them. Consumer products companies need this!

Important to consider that some barcode scanners include the required logic to identify the start of the barcode, end of the barcode, end of variable length barcode segment, the GS1 application identifiers, and even the barcode type. Not to forget code A,B or C for GS1 128.
