9、Product Package Label The purpose of the PRODUCT PACKAGE LABEL is to provide a standard format for describing the contents of a given unit pack with respect to product identification number, quantity, and any optional information as further identified in the following sections. The label can also se
10、rve as a system interface between trading partners by providing, in a machine readable format, the descriptive information required for system updating. This labeling is normally performed at the lowest level of packaging. Some examples of Product Package labels are shown in Figure 1. 11 Available f

Whereas the PRODUCT PACKAGE LABEL provides information about the contents of a package that is usually order i
13、ndependent, the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL provides information about the customers order. As with 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 S

As cable is manufactured, it is wound onto reels, each of which has been id
24、entified with an ATIS CABLE REEL ID LABEL. The CABLE REEL ID LABEL is scanned and entered into the manufacturers computer system with the cable type and cable length. This Cable Reel ID provides the manufacturer a key to the computer data bases for tracking the cable inventory and tracking the cable
25、 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 scanned information is used by the manufacturers computer system to match against the inventory files to ensure the correct cable type and
26、 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 tracking 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
27、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. Additionally, the scanned data can be entered into a database allowing a computer system to associate the type and amount of cable on a s
28、pecific 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 the cable balance on a reel A B 1 2 3 4 5 6 X Y Z( 1B ) R E E L ID - D O N O T R E M O V E1 B A B 1 2 3 4 5 6 XY ZATIS-0300006 13 by reel ba

This system can greatly facilitate the return of empty cable reels to minimize charges imposed by the cable provider when
30、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 products, their quantity, serial numbers, country of origin, and how they are packaged within the shipment.
31、It may also include a two dimensional symbol that contains portions of the associated Ship Notice Manifest data (EDI transaction set 85614) that can be used to receive the shipment and further automate the receiving process. The paper packing list document could become unnecessary in the future as e
32、lectronic 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 customs usage.15 1.4.5 Benefits The following are some of the benefits that can be gained through the use of t
33、he 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 commitment of the organization implementing the labeling process. 1.4.5.1 Producers of Labels Standard label
34、 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 attract customers wanting to use them in their receiving applications. Greater mechanization and accuracy i
35、n 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 employees and makes procedures easier to monitor and to maintain. Standard machine readable symbol labels can b
36、e 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 a platform for further partnering using EDI technology. 1.4.5.2 Recipients of Labels Using automatic da
37、ta 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 standard format of the label can help to reduce training of receiving and put-away personnel. The use of stan
38、dardized 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 counting) process by providing a machine readable identification of product and quantity. 14 See ANSI ASC
39、 X12 (available at www.X12.org) or UN/EDIFACT (see http:/repository.edifice.org/migs/desadv.aspx) for additional information on EDI transaction sets. 15 For the cable reel manifest, see ATIS-0300045. ATIS-0300006 14 The use of standardized machine readable labels can provide a platform for further p
40、artnering 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, the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL, and/or the CABLE REEL ID LABEL. These procedures are not
41、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 need to generate or to receive the machine readable symbol PRODUCT PACKAGE LABEL, the SHIPPING/RECEI
42、VING 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 situation, all affected work processes need to be examined. Because of the inherent accuracy and efficien
43、cy 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 have gained as much, if not more, than the requester by re-engineering their work processes to accommo
44、date 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 where an internal decision has been made to implement a machine readable labeling process, the first s
45、tep 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 maintained. In looking toward to the future, examine what types of Electronic Commerce (e.g. EDI) capabiliti
46、es 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 LABEL and/or the SHIPPING/RECEIVING TRANSACTION LABEL has been determined, trading partners must mutual
47、ly 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 including optional data fields. The CABLE REEL ID LABEL format and information is fixed. While there are g
48、uidelines 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 definition phase. This will help to ensure that everyones needs and procedural changes resulting from mech
49、anization 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 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 m
