The Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) is something you see almost every day as a logistics service provider. And if you do not see them, your colleagues in the warehouse or on the semis will. Despite that these labels might not seem special to you, they are on the basis of the functioning of your organization. And therefore they are indispensable. For you, but also for your customers. This is why there are numerous examples where customers request a personal SSCC number series, so their administration will become more transparant. Do you receive these requests as well from your customers? Then read along and find out how you can set up these series yourself.
SSCC Number series in your administration
When you create a new SSCC number series, it is important to decide what numbers to use on forehand. An SSCC number consists of 17 digits. The first 10 digits are set; you probably receive these from your customer. However, the number series you see in your system consists of 18 digits. The 18th digit, the so-called ‘check digit’, is automatically given by the system.
Enter a new number series
You can create a new number series on customer level easily by yourself. Follow the steps in the video underneath and check the new SSCC number series by creating a new receipt.
