Title

EAN/UPC Gap Recovery Program

Purpose

This report is used to recover International Article Numbers (EANs) and Universal Product Codes (UPCs) lost due to buffering so that they can be assigned to other materials.

EANs/UPCs are analyzed:

  • All those lost before the EAN/UPC recycling functionality started are recovered and stored as To-Be-Recycled EANs. They will be available for reuse after a default retention period. These numbers may have been lost due to buffering or deleted manually in Material Master Maintenance.
  • All those lost after the EAN/UPC recycling functionality started are recovered and stored as Recycled EANs. They will be available for reuse since they were never used before. These numbers are uniquely lost due to buffering. Since after the EAN/UPC recycling functionality started, all deleted EANs are recovered immediately by Material Master Maintenance and stored as To-Be-Recycled EANs.

Integration

You must use transaction Material Master Maintenance to assign Recycled EANs/UPCs to other materials. You can assign recycled EANs/UPCs only when all EAN number ranges have been exhausted.

You can verify existing EAN number ranges and their assignment to EAN categories in Customizing for International Article Numbers (EANs).

Prerequisites

  • Only EANs/UPCs generated by the system (EAN categories using internal number range numbers) can be recycled.
  • EAN categories must use number range EUROPARTNR in order for their EANs/UPCs to be recycled.
    In Customizing for International Article Numbers (EANs), under Define attributes for EANs/UPCs, you can define a number range object for each EAN category.
    Under Define EAN Recycling multiple intervals, you can define multiple internal number ranges for a given EAN category.

Output

No report will be issued.

The results will be stored in tables /AFS/EANTBREC and /AFS/EANREC.

Activities

Example

The following entries are in MEAN table: 205000001681 then 205000001688 from number category UC.

EANs between 205000001681 then 205000001688 are not used.

Table /AFS/EANTBREC where the To-Be-Recycled EANs are stored is checked to make sure that EANs were not deleted. If they were, they must already been stored in this table.

Compare these EANs with the corresponding entry of /AFS/EANCAT_INT (the same category and within the interval of this category). If these EANs are smaller than the status of this interval, when the EAN/UPC recycling functionality is started, they are stored as To-Be-Recycled EANs; if not, they are stored as Recycled EANs.
