Hi, I am setting up SSCC license plate labels. They have a company prefix that is 9 digits long (542502918) while the GS1 Company prefix field on the warehouse parameters is only 8 long. So I set up the number sequence extension (see image) so that the first constant adds the missing "5" to the compnay prefix. The format looks OK 542502918########^. So far so good.

However, when I create a LP by receiving I get 000 then the 8 digits of the company prefix then the serial number and finally the check digit.

000 42502918 00002044 3

So the format is ignored?

In Yammer there is a thread about how to change the leading 000

This is the link to the thread

https://community.dynamics.com/365/supply-chain-management/f...

In this thread a feature called "Number sequence extension" is referred to to solve the problem. But I can't find a feature by that name?

My questions :

How can I make an GS1 SSCC with a 9-digit company prefix?
What about the feature I can't find?

Thanks for any tips,

Hi Nuno,

Thank you very much for your tip. This was indeed what I was missing and now I can configure the structure of the SSCC with a constant + the 8 digit company prefix from the warehouse parameters = 9 digits GS1company prefix of my client.

Best regards,

Pieter

Feature is already enabled if in your warehouse parameter you have visible column "Number Sequence extension"

Your license plate sequence number is setup in that column ?
