In this IMG activity, you define the individual International Article Number (EAN) categories, the description of the EAN category, and the following attributes of the EAN category:

Requirements

You have created the EAN prefixes. You do this in Customizing for the Material Master in the activity Define prefixes for EANs/UPCs.

Non-Standard Setting for the EAN Category for UPC-E

Besides the standard EAN categories, the system also supports the EAN category for UPC-E. This EAN category is a contraction of the existing EAN category for UPCs (identifier UC in the standard system). With the EAN category for UPC-E, the EAN is entered and displayed in a shortened form normally consisting of one leading zero, a six-figure EAN code, and a single-figure check digit. However, it is stored in the database in the long format like the existing EAN category for UPCs.

In this IMG activity, the EAN category for UPC-E is not listed as one of the standard EAN categories since the EAN category for velocity codes (identifier VC in the standard system) can also have the same display format. The system would not otherwise be able to distinguish between the two.

If you want to use the EAN category for UPC-E, you must make the following settings in this IMG activity:

  1. Either delete the EAN category for velocity codes (identifier VC) or a corresponding EAN category that you have created yourself, or adapt the number ranges used so that they do not have the same short display format as the EAN category for UPC-E. (A number range is always defined without a leading zero and without a check digit.)
  2. Define a two-character identifier for the EAN category for UPC-E, for example, UE and enter the description.
  3. Make the following entries:
    • Number range object            EUROPARTNR
    • Internal number range            (no entry)
    • External number range            09 (standard interval from 1000000000
                                      to 99999999999)
    • Check-digit algorithm            6
    • Fresh produce prefix            (no entry)
    • EAN length                    8 (proposed value in accordance with
                                      the definition of a UPC-E)
    • Alphanumeric EANs indicator    (not set)

Interaction between UPC-E and other EAN categories:

  • Normal UPCs (identifier UC)

    If an EAN category also exists for normal UPCs, you must always specify the identifier for the EAN category for UPC-E when maintaining EANs with the EAN category for UPC-E in dialog mode. This ensures correct conversion to the database format by the system.

  • Manufacturer short EANs (identifier HK)

    A UPC-E has seven figures without leading zero, but with check digit. The standard EAN category for manufacturer short EANs has eight figures without leading zero, but with check digit. If you enter an EAN of the category HK without a check digit, and have the check digit determined automatically, the conversion exit used for UPC-E cannot distinguish between a UPC-E with a check digit (seven figures) and an EAN of the category HK without a check digit (also seven figures). For this reason, do not let the check digit be determined automatically for the EAN category HK if you also use UPC-E.

Actions

Check the EAN categories in the standard system and, if necessary, define new ones or change the existing ones to suit your needs.

If you define new EAN categories:

  1. Enter a description for the EAN category.
  2. Specify the attributes of the EAN category.
