GTIN
Colloquially, many know GTIN as a barcode, but technically, GTIN is the number found beneath the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

The purpose of a standardized digital structure for exchanging sales and purchasing information is to minimize the time spent on manual processes such as data entry and verification, while reducing the risk of errors. At the same time, the structure supports an efficient flow of goods throughout the supply chain.
GS1’s EDI standard uses GS1 identification numbers as keys to the IT systems that rely on them. One of the advantages is that it is much easier and faster to update information stored in a database than to change numbering systems every time product or location data needs to be updated.
Benefits of unambiguous identification of products and locations:
En identifikationsnøgle starter altid med et virksomhedspræfiks. Et virksomhedspræfiks er et GS1 ID, som du køber i Mit GS1.
Der findes virksomhedspræfikser i forskellige længder: fra 7 cifre til 11 cifre lange. Det varierer efter antallet af numre, som du har behov for.
Præfikset suppleres med et x antal cifre for at opnå en identifikationsnøgle (for eksempel GTIN).
Jo kortere virksomhedspræfiks, desto flere frie positioner har du til at identificere produkter med. Med andre ord, jo kortere virksomhedspræfiks, desto flere identifikationsnumre kan du oprette. Dette kalder vi 'nummereringskapacitet'.
Det sidste ciffer er et kontrolciffer, der bekræfter, at koden er korrekt.
Nedenfor kan du se hvordan data synkroniseres imellem købere og sælgere vha. GS1 GDSN og GS1 Global Registry.
1. Loading of company data
2. Registering of company data
3. Subscription to seller's data pool
4. Publishing of company data
5. Confirmation receipt of company data
In Denmark, the most widely used GS1 standard for exchanging electronic documents is the STRU concept under HANCOM®. However, it is also possible to use GS1 XML, which consists of a set of messages based on XML syntax.
GS1 XML provides a standardized structure for the exchange of electronic business messages, enabling companies to quickly, efficiently, and securely exchange information across IT systems.
GS1 XML is based on components and standards from UN/CEFACT. It includes messages covering data synchronization, orders, delivery, invoicing, and transport.
The STRU concept consists of a series of messages based on four core principles:
These principles make it relatively simple to establish systems for handling electronic trade messages. In practice, the concept can be applied to the majority of electronic trade documents exchanged in the grocery industry today.
The following EDI messages are defined within the STRU concept:
Due to the simplicity of the STRU concept, certain scenarios may require additional information that cannot be included within the standard structure, such as international trade or e-commerce with consumers. In these cases, STRU can be extended using the additional capabilities available in the full EANCOM®/HANCOM® specification.
