Critical Chargeback & Import Pitfalls We Prevent

Common EDI mistakes that trigger $250+ retailer fines or accounting balance errors

Sending 18 Digits Instead of 20 Digits Under MAN*GM

Risk: 997 / 824 ASN Rejection

Qualifier GM explicitly means "SSCC-18 and Application Identifier", which requires the leading "00" (20 digits total).

Always include the leading "00" in MAN02 when MAN01 is GM.

Printing Plain Code 128 Barcodes Without FNC1

Risk: $250+ Per Carton Chargeback

Even if MAN*GM in your 856 is right, printing the label with a non-GS1 barcode font omits the FNC1 character.

Use our bwip-js powered 4x6" GS1-128 PDF generator.

Wrong Modulo 10 Check Digit in MAN02

Risk: Unscannable Pallet / Carton

Hand-incrementing the last digit of MAN02 breaks the Modulo 10 checksum.

Increment the 17-digit base (serial reference) and let our engine compute the 18th check digit.

How to Verify MAN*GM Segments & Print Matching 4x6" Labels

Zero middleware setup — complete in under 60 seconds

1. Click Line #25 (MAN*GM) in the Left AST Tree Below

Inspect the 20-digit SSCC-18 breakdown.

2. Click "Print 4x6" GS1-128 Carton Labels PDF"

Open the label modal to preview the physical 4x6 thermal sticker.

3. Download the 300 DPI PDF for Your Zebra / Rollo Printer

Every printed barcode is 100% locked to your 856 MAN*GM value.

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

ANSI X12 specification details, retail companion rules, and ERP import answers

What is the difference between MANGM and MANUC?

MAN*GM carries a 20-digit GS1-128 SSCC serial shipping container code (AI 00 + 18 digits). MAN*UC carries a 12-digit UPC or 14-digit GTIN case code.

How does EDIParse validate MAN*GM segments?

Our linter strips the leading "00" Application Identifier, runs the official GS1 3x/1x weighted Modulo 10 algorithm on the 17-digit base, and compares the result against the 20th digit.
