The management of SSCC numbers (Serial Shipping Container Code) is used to trace the shipped logistical units by means of a standardized code compliant with the EAN Gencod standard.
The SSCC contains 18 numbers. It is structured so as to ensure its uniqueness in the international context. This structure is composed of a root and a sequence number counter respectively defined by the parameters SSCCROOT - Root of the SSCC code and SSCCCOU - Counter identifier (STO chapter, MIS group).
