Part 4
Barcodes play a key role in supply chains, they are used to encode information such as product numbers, serial numbers, and batch numbers. Standardizing on GS1 can help tackle problem areas such as traceability, stock management, automated goods receipt, and invoice discrepancies. Additionally, working with GS1 labeling standards means that your barcodes and unique numbers will be accepted by major retailers and distributors all over the world. It is an opportunity to become more competitive and responsive to trading partners, support retailers initiatives to reduce in-store food waste and build brand loyalty.
SAP Business One provides full support for GS1 product identification standards and barcodes through the PDMX warehouse management system. This enables easy identification of products and cases throughout inbound, internal and outbound logistics processes, and provides a consistent, end-to-end traceability record, so that the event of a food safety issue, such as recall, immediate action can be taken.
Batch traceability is a complex, multi-dimensional issue which touches multiple parts of the business. GS1 adoption is not simply a problem to solve with an IT system- it is a methodology and a new way of addressing the marketplace.
