ATIS-0300006 4 Figure 1 Product Package Labels (Not to Scale) 1.4.2 Shipping/Receiving Transaction Label The SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL is primarily a vehicle to automate the delivery of customer order information (purchase order number, quantity, product identifica
9、tion, package identification, etc.) from the supplier of a product to the receiver. Whereas the PRODUCT PACKAGE LABEL provides information about the contents of a package that is usually order independent, the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL provides information about the customers order. As wi
10、th the PRODUCT PACKAGE LABEL, the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL can also serve as a system interface by providing the information in a standard machine readable format. Some examples of Shipping/Receiving Transaction labels are shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5. COUNTRY OF ORIGIN (4L) (01) 50098

The CABLE REEL ID LABEL is scanned and entered into the manufacturers computer system with the cable type and cable le
21、ngth. This Cable Reel ID provides the manufacturer a key to the computer data bases for tracking the cable inventory and tracking the cable reel itself. As cable picking requests are sent to the manufacturers cable storage area, the order picker can scan the CABLE REEL ID LABEL, using a scanner. The
22、 scanned information is used by the manufacturers computer system to match against the inventory files to ensure the correct cable type and length is being pulled from storage and shipped. This information can also be used for the mechanized preparation of shipping documents, EDI ASN, and/or the tra
23、cking of reels for asset control purposes. The Cable Reel ID can be utilized by the cable purchaser to track the cable reels from the time they are received, and moved to various transfer points, including company or customer locations, until the empty cable reels are returned to the cable providers
24、. Additionally, the scanned data can be entered into a database allowing a computer system to associate the type and amount of cable on a specific reel. The reels may be owned by the cable provider or by the company purchasing the cable. This system can track the incoming cable reels and decrement t

If cable is removed from a cable providers reel and transferred to a company owned reel the computer system can be utilized to track these transfers. This system can g
26、reatly facilitate the return of empty cable reels to minimize charges imposed by the cable provider when specific cable reels are not returned within a specified time frame. 1.4.4.4 Packing List A packing list document may accompany a shipment in order to provide a paper copy listing the ordered pro
27、ducts, their quantity, serial numbers, country of origin, and how they are packaged within the shipment. It may also include a two dimensional symbol that contains portions of the associated Ship Notice Manifest data (EDI transaction set 8569) that can be used to receive the shipment and further aut
28、omate the receiving process. The paper packing list document could become unnecessary in the future as electronic commerce between trading partners becomes dependent on the package identification data field of the shipping label. However, the paper packing list may continue to be required for custom
29、s usage.101.4.5 Benefits The following are some of the benefits that can be gained through the use of the PRODUCT PACKAGE LABEL, the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL, and the CABLE REEL ID LABEL. The degree to which each of these benefits is realized is dependent on the application and the commi
30、tment of the organization implementing the labeling process. 1.4.5.1 Producers of Labels Standard label dimensions help reduce inventories of label stock previously required for different customers. Standard label format makes computer programming easier. The ability to produce these labels can attr
31、act customers wanting to use them in their receiving applications. Greater mechanization and accuracy in a customers receiving process can result in a reduction in disputed shipment data and in accelerated payment. Producing standard labels for customers reduces training of packing/shipping employee
32、s and makes procedures easier to monitor and to maintain. Standard machine readable symbol labels can be used to mechanize the consolidation of shipment data for the computer system and the creation of bills of lading/packing slips/Ship Notice Manifest. The use of standard label formats can provide
33、a platform for further partnering using EDI technology. 1.4.5.2 Recipients of Labels Using automatic data capture methods to scan the data on standard label formats provides the opportunity for greater efficiency and accuracy through mechanization of the receiving and/or put-away process. The standa
34、rd format of the label can help to reduce training of receiving and put-away personnel. The use of standardized machine readable labels can eliminate the need to re-identify (re-label) material for storage. Standardized machine readable labels can be used to mechanize the inventory control (cycle co
35、unting) process by providing a machine readable identification of product and quantity. 9See ANSI ASC X12 (available at www.X12.org) or UN/EDIFACT (see http:/repository.edifice.org/migs/desadv.aspx) for additional information on EDI transaction sets. 10For the cable reel manifest, see ATIS-0300045.
36、ATIS-0300006 14 The use of standardized machine readable labels can provide a platform for further partnering using EDI technology. 2 Implementation Procedures for Labeling The following describes the procedures involved in establishing a trading partner relationship using the PRODUCT PACKAGE LABEL,
37、 the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL, and/or the CABLE REEL ID LABEL. These procedures are not intended to be absolute in either content or sequence. Specific situations and requirements may warrant changes to this process. 2.1 Determining The Need For Machine Readable Labeling Many times, the
38、need to generate or to receive the machine readable symbol PRODUCT PACKAGE LABEL, the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL, and/or the CABLE REEL ID LABEL originates from customer requirements or as a request from suppliers attempting to standardize their labeling process. In addressing either situa
39、tion, all affected work processes need to be examined. Because of the inherent accuracy and efficiency of data collection using machine readable technology, most manual data collection and data entry processes can be greatly improved. Organizations that are NOT the initiators of labeling requests ha
40、ve gained as much, if not more, than the requester by re-engineering their work processes to accommodate the labeling requirements. While the stimulus for machine readable labeling may come from external sources, an examination of internal business processes can also prompt action. In those cases wh
41、ere an internal decision has been made to implement a machine readable labeling process, the first step will be to identify partners to either receive or generate the labels. Prospective candidates include those customers or vendors with which successful business relationships are currently maintain
42、ed. In looking toward to the future, examine what types of Electronic Commerce (e.g. EDI) capabilities or plans these potential partners have as the merging of bar coding and Electronic Commerce is a potentially powerful tool. 2.2 Defining Label Requirements Once the need for the PRODUCT PACKAGE LAB
43、EL and/or the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL has been determined, trading partners must mutually agree as to what information will be required on the labels. The PRODUCT PACKAGE LABEL and the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL provide for variable label formats and information content includ
44、ing optional data fields. The CABLE REEL ID LABEL format and information is fixed. While there are guidelines for the content, some of the informational fields are optional or may contain data in variable formats. It is a good practice to involve all affected organizations in the requirements defini
45、tion phase. This will help to ensure that everyones needs and procedural changes resulting from mechanization have been identified. While performing this review process, be sure to examine both current and future informational needs. Sections 7.2.4, 7.3.3, and 7.4.5 of this document contain expanded
46、 information on label content. 2.3 Communicating Requirements Depending on the number of potential trading partners, consider one-on-one communications with each partner or a “seminar” environment where communications with many partners can be accomplished. In either situation, the following items s
47、hould be covered in the discussions. 2.3.1 ATIS Label Information Exchange Form The ATIS LABEL INFORMATION EXCHANGE FORM (See Attachments) contained in this document has been developed to assist the “initiator” of the labeling requirements in communicating labeling requirements to the other partner
48、in the relationship. This form should be completed as part of the requirements definition process. Instructions for completing the form are included in this document (See Attachments). The form can then serve as the primary requirements record between partners and should represent the exact content
49、of the labels. (The data content of the CABLE REEL ID LABEL is fixed; therefore the LABEL INFORMATION EXCHANGE FORM is not applicable.) 2.3.2 Differences There will be occasions when requirements cannot be easily met by both trading partners and a negotiated solution will be required. It would not be unusual to be partnering with hundreds of different companies, each having some unique requirements. Designing systems and procedures with as much fle
