The UPC code is a 12-digit number appearing
underneath a barcode on commercial products in the US and Canada. The 1st
and 12th digits are smaller and appear on either end of the barcode; the
2nd through 11th are divided into two groups of five underneath the
barcode.
The UPC code is entered in the 024 field without any spaces.
first indicator = 1
second indicator = blank
| The first 6 of
these digits is the manufacturer's code. The next 5 digits are the product code. The last digit is a check digit. |
