Encoded in Application Identifier (00) of the GS1-128 label, it is transmitted in the DESADV via the GIN segment, enabling scan-based receiving of a whole pallet from a single read.

Origin

Defined by the GS1 General Specifications (GS1, Application Identifier 00), the global standards body for barcodes and identifiers.

Example in context

Label: (00) 380011223344556677; in the DESADV: <GIN+BJ:380011223344556677'>.
