Shipping container code application identifier

In our system, we drop the shipping container code, and then cross reference the next 14 digits to our product code.
Identifiers can be in any order but they all need to be there for PFS to scan the needed data. For example, the above example could also be presented as:

01 1 8993530 00805 1 3202 002000 11 210131 21 813156028053

Here is an example of a label: Notice the Weight Identifier is 3102 so the weight is kilograms with 2 decimals = 19.00kg. PFS converts it to lbs.

Indicator Digit
This digit only appears in the GTIN-14 and is primarily used to indicate standard groupings (inner pack,
case, pallet, etc.) of packages of the same GTIN using values 1 through 9. A zero indicates that the GTIN
is representing a single unit. For products where the actual units sold can be a variable measure or catch
weight (weight, size, volume, etc.) the indicator digit should be set to 9. Indicator values 1 through 8 have
no specific standard meaning other than that they indicate a grouping. That is, there are no standard
groupings that values 1 through 8 may indicate so you can’t assume any particular value means an inner
pack, a case, a pallet or anything else. Each company is free to choose any of these values to indicate any
grouping they wish. Example: In GTIN 30075620568743, the starting 3 could stand for anything Tyson
wants. It could be that it represents bagged product.
