Bar-Coding Compliance (Big Rock Sports)
Bar-Coding Compliance requirements put forth in the Big Rock Sports compliance guide refer to all vendors using EDI. Technology has allowed for Bar-Coding Compliance improvements and innovations. These improvements assist Big Rock’s vendors and Big Rock Sports streamline processing of Inbound Shipments.
Individual Selling unit UPC bar code for unit and product
Big Rock Sports Bar-Coding Compliance requires each individual selling unit to have a UPC barcode identifying the product and unit quantity. Additionally, Big Rock Sports must have a label identifying Inner pack values within the carton. This label is an Interleaved 2 of 5 or Pack 14 code. Each shipping-master carton must be marked with a UCC128 Label, and Interleaved 2 of 5 bar coding. Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes may also be known as “Pack 14” codes or “ITF14” codes. Interleaved 2 of 5 bar codes must be of correct size that has been mandated by the: UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (UCC)
UPC and Label Standards
- Each item or selling unit must have a correct and scan-able UPC barcode.
- UPC labels cannot be obstructed in any way.
- Each inner pack must have an Interleaved 2 of 5 indicating the pack code amount.
- Each master carton must have an Interleaved 2 of 5 label of the item on the outside of the carton indicating the master pack code. Recall that a master carton cannot contain more than one type of SKU, but rather contains several inner packs of the SKU item.
- An incorrect or missing UPC on an item will result in the return of the merchandise to the vendor at the vendor’s expense and/or a noncompliance charge plus applicable handling charges for the corrections needed.
BRS Requirements for Product Dimensions
Product dimension data for all stocked items is mandatory. Weights and measurements for each packing level that Big Rock Sports will potentially handle the product are mandatory. This information should be supplied to the appropriate Merchant at the time of item set up.
