As part of our overarching GS1 strategy, the e-label Enterprise portal has advanced its GS1 Digital Link compliance. Users now have the option to generate GS1 Digital Link codes during the code creation process. To utilize this feature, simply access the QR Code manager within the e-label management tool and choose the relevant code type from the dropdown menu. Below are the steps to guide you through this process:
1. Log in our platform
2. Then, go to the QR Manager section:
3. If is going to be a new code, go to the NEW QR CODE option:
4. Click on the ACTIVATE button:
5. Once the code is activated, get back to the management tool and locate the product, then click on: Edit e-label Data:
6. Then, go the the QR sub-section, and initially the code is created as a Non-Gs1 code:
7. Click on "Select QR code Type" dropdown menu, and select GS1:
8. A pop-up will appear, this will give you the option to confirm the change:
9. Then, please enter the GS1 information:
It is important to mention that the:
- GTIN stands for "Global Trade Item Number." It is a unique identifier for trade items, developed by GS1. GTINs are used to identify products, services, or items in supply chains, and they play a crucial role in facilitating efficient and accurate information exchange between trading partners. The GTIN in the Scantrust context has to be a 14-digit numeric data structure, but it can also be expressed in 8, 12, or 13 digits.
- Additionally, the GS1 information is encoded via GS1 Application Identifiers (GS1 Application Identifiers (AI) which are considered as primary identification keys for GS1 Digital Link URI. In this case, we let you create two: Lot or Batch number, and the CPV (Consumer Product Variant).
- The Lot number can be typed manually or created automatically with the button located on the right side of the box.
- The CPV (Consumer Product Variant) should be numeric and could be, for instance: The vintage year.
10. Then, you should be able to see how the GS1 link is going to look and click on: "Generate QR Code":
11. Finally, your code will be created and you should be redirected to the page in which you will find it. One way to recognize is that the code created will have a small GS1 logo, as follows:
NOTE:
- Please only follow these steps to create a GS1 Digitial Link QR Code. This type of code should be generated only, in the QR Code Subsection that is available in the e-label management tool.
- If the label is already published and the code is already created, please follow only from the 5th step.
