List of Application Identifiers
This list of Application Identifiers for the barcode symbologies GS1-128 (aka EAN-128 or UCC-128) and GS1-DataMatrix will give you an overview of the available AIs and how to apply them in barcodes.
If the AI has a fixed data length like (01) "Global Trade Item Number" you can simply use the AI in round brackets followed by the data: (01)01234567890128. If another AI is used next you can simply attach that directly as shown.
Only if the AI has a variable data length like (30) "Count of items" the AI data has to be closed with <FNC1> to signal the end of that specific AI. For AIs with a fixed data length the <FNC1> is not required to close the AI.
d = The 'd' in the AI column is a place holder. Here you indicate the implied decimal point position.
Here is an example for AI 310d. Product Net Weight in kg.
(3100)123456 = 123456 kg.
(3101)123456 = 12345.6 kg.
(3102)123456 = 1234.56 kg.
(3103)123456 = 123.456 kg.
(3104)123456 = 12.3456 kg.
(3105)123456 = 1.23456 kg.
(3106)123456 = 0.123456 kg.
Date is given as YYMMDD. Here is an example for AI 15. Best Before Date.
(15)201231 = YY = 20, MM = 12, DD = 31.
