6 Introduction
This Volkswagen standard describes the transport tag for the supply of Production material to the Volkswagen AG plants. It also specifies the contents for
texts and barcode as well as the dimensions. The term “VOLKSWAGEN” is used in this document in place of the brands of the Volkswagen Group.
The “Implementation Guideline” refers directly to the Global Transport Label (GTL) Standard of the organizations AIAG, JAMA/JAPIA and ODETTE as well
as VDA as the common basis and adds the specifics of VOLKSWAGEN.
The GLA is the physical information carrier at the container itself. It is matched with the Electronic Data Communication (EDI) and has a text for manual
editing and barcode & 2D code for the machine registration.
See the process-describing EDI Implementation Guidelines for more detailed descriptions of the underlying EDI data. Also refer to the separate description
of the structural presentation of packages required by VOLKSWAGEN.
The latest version of this guideline can be found under: Download EDI-Guidelines
The GTL standard contains the technical information required for the implementation of the Global Transport Label. The GTL substitutes the OTL = Odette
Transport Label and VDA 4902 Label used up to now at VOLKSWAGEN.
The globally unique package number enables the one document principle in the transport chain from the supplier via the intermediate storage to the point of
assembly. This eliminates marking and relabeling in the intermediate processes.

Clear identification of the package by scanning only one barcode field "License Plate" with the package number (Org-Company Code + Serial
Number) is guaranteed.

Handling is considerably simplified due to the Data Matrix Code because all package information is in just one code field instead of several different
ones. The Data Matrix Code has to be used. The PDF 417 code must not used.

7 General Terms
The GTL has to be attached as a good label to each part-bearing container.
Auxiliary packaging has no quantity per package (e.g. cover); they are not provided with a label. Like auxiliary packaging, empty KLTs in the container (for
stabilization) must be shipped without labels.
Intermediate and virtual packages (COPACK) represent a special case. In principle, a label is to be provided for these packages too. Details must be
clarified with the recipient plant.
A detailed description of the package structures, including examples, can be found in the EDI guidelines and in the guide Package structures in the VW
VDA 4913 and/or Package structures in the VW EDIFACT DESADV.
7.1
Label Sizes and Paper Weight
The standard format of the GTL is A5 landscape 210 mm x 148 mm. The SMALL-Label for small container types (KLT) is half of the A5 height, 210 mm x
74 mm. The AIAG-B10 format 152.4 mm x 101.6 mm is used for the plant CHATTANOOGA (or DIN A6 148 x 105 mm). (See fig. 3 GTL label sizes). The
paper weight of a pluggable GTL is at least 120 g/qm.
7.2
GTL Label Types
The GTL label types are:




7.3
VL Label on part-bearing container without superior MASTER/MIX Label
SINGLE Label on each “part-bearing” container, subordinated to a MASTER/MIX Label (lowest packaging unit)
MASTER Label on the main packaging (outer packaging) of homogeneous loading units with identical article numbers (homogeneous)
MIX Label on the main packaging (outer packaging) for mixed containers with different article numbers in the inner delivery units
GTL Characteristics
There are 3 different characteristics of the GTL depending on the business process:

8 Document Language and Fonts for the Field and Line Titles
The field and line titles must be written in English in case of international deliveries. Field and line titles in the national language of the recipient plant can
be agreed in case of international deliveries. The national language of the recipient plant can be selected in the case of national deliveries.
The field contents must be in the same manner as the EDI data. Text data without any EDI reference, e.g. address data (From / To) must be in English in
case of international deliveries. Field contents in the national language of the recipient plant may be agreed in case of international deliveries. The national
language can be selected in case of national deliveries.
Texts and data in the supplier field are intended for the internal use of the supplier and are not relevant to the recipient or forwarder.
Use of fonts
The proportionate font ARIAL or ARIAL NARLINE or similar fonts of the same family are to be used.
Choose the following font sizes for the field and line titles:

Minimum 8 pt. for the label size A5

Minimum 6 pt. for the SMALL Label and AIAG-B10, and/or A6.
The font sizes for the data contents must be selected according to the field allocations in table 11.1. The allocation examples are oriented towards the field
lengths used at VOLKSWAGEN. If the field lengths are exceeded in individual cases, the font size must be reduced to the necessary size. Contents must
not be cropped.

9 Barcode
Code 128 (ISO/IEC 15417) is used for the License Plate exclusively. As 2D code the Data Matrix Code (ISO/IEC 16022) is to be used.
9.1
Code 128
Code 128 holds the License Plate. The readable interpretation line equals to the data content except the brackets around the data identifier and the spaces.
These brackets are only printed to emphasize something in the text.They are not part of code 128.
The bar width “X” for the smallest bar in code 128 equals X = minimum 0.33 mm (13mil) and maximum 0,432 mm (17mil). The quiet zone on the right and
left side is at least 3 mm wide and/or 10-times the smallest bar width.
The minimum height of code 128 is 15 mm for SMALL and B10 Labels, and 17 mm for A5 Labels and nominal: 20 mm.
The Minimum distance to the separator above is 1 mm.
9.2
Data Matrix
The Data Matrix holds the automatically readable data information in syntax ISO/IEC 15434. The minimum dot size for Data Matrix is: Xmin = 0,33 mm (13
mil). The quiet zone around the code has a minimum of 2 mm.
9.3
Restrictions at the print of barcodes
Folgende Einschränkungen bei der Erzeugung der Barcodes sind zwingend zu beachten.
Following restrictions regarding the generation of barcodes must be observed.

The barcode 417 must not be used

The supplier’s field must not contain any 1D barcode. A Data Matrix Code may be used

Implementation Guideline Global Transport Label
10 Acceptance Specifications Barcode Contents and Quality
The compliance of the data contents and structure to the standard must be checked computer-supported. VOLKSWAGEN uses “ScanLink” (source:
www.elmicron.de) to check the structure compliance. ISO/IEC 15416 is used to check the barcode quality for code 128 and/or ISO/IEC 15415 is used for
2D codes. These norms are used to measure the quality features of the codes in “Quality Level” using barcode verifiers.
The measured print quality after the printing process must be level 3.0 (B) and the quality level must not go below 1.5 (C) at the point of use. Quality tests
are performed as samplings meeting the standards of the general quality check.
11 GTL Fields, Dimensions and Data Contents
The following information determines the usage of the GTL fields. The data contents and the formal setup of the data elements must always be adopted
from the respective EDI call-offs, if these are not data from the supplier. The information from the GTL product tag always must be identical to the delivery
note information and the transport data information (ASN) as well as the transport and shipping documents.

13 Data Syntax
Each data element in the code has a prefixed respective data identifier. The data information is directly coded in code 128 as a single data element. Yet in
Data Matrix Code, all relevant data elements are embedded in syntax ISO/IEC 15434. The format identifier “06” in the syntax header defines the usage of
the ASC data identifiers.
The syntax ISO/IEC 15434 consists of the unique identification sequence and a closing sequence. The identification sequence includes the Compliance
Indicator and Format Trailer, followed by the Format Indicator for “DIs”, the Data Field Separators and the data elements. The closing sequence includes
the Format Trailer and Message Trailer. The following characters and character strings are used as control characters:

Tab. 6: Data Identifiers (DIs) for 2D Code
14 Segmenting of the Data Information in 2D Code
The data elements containing the data identifiers (DIs) in the barcode are segmented hierarchically in the Looping structure. This is the purpose of the data
identifier (F). With the segmenting, the data fields are assigned to the nested hierarchical levels. For example, article and serial number assigned to partbearing container and then to superior containers. The individual structure levels have respective level codes. Table 13.1 lists the used level codes
according to EDI Syntax ANS X12, data element 735. After completion, the entire data string is embedded into syntax ISO/IEC 15434. A Data Matrix Code
of a MASTER or MIX Label can be executed as a SET Code with the information of the subordinated single units. It can also be executed without this
information only for the respective level. SET Codes contain the data segments of the subordinated Single Labels, surrounded by the data segment of the
superior unit. Three Levels are used for the segmenting: Level “TARE” of the superior MASTER and MIX units, level “PACK” for the part-bearing containers
and level “ITEM” for articles.

Description
The tare level is used to identify pallets. If there are no identifiable pallets, this
level may be omitted.
The pack level is used to identify the cartons within which the item is shipped,
e.g., label serial numbers. In most cases there will be some sort of packs.
Stock keeping unit (SKU) identification data.
Tab. 7: Level Codes
Extract from the standard “ANS MH 10.8.2, Table VI – 3 – Commonly Used Hierarchical Level Codes”
Only Level Codes T, P and I are used in Data Matrix Code for the GTL.
Procedure for segmenting Data Matrix Code contents in superior and subordinated levels.
First, Level Identifiers are used to prepare the hierarchical structure. Then, the data elements receive the DI “F” and the corresponding “Parent Child IDs”.
Finally, the entire data string is put in syntax ISO/IEC 15434.

14.1 Data Identifier “F” for the Hierarchical Structure
The data elements are assigned to a segment by using a prefixed Data Identifier “F”. The segments have a unique Level ID and segment type (Level
Code). Subordinating a segment is achieved by referencing the superior Level ID (Child-Parent). Existing subordinated segments are indicated in the
superior segment by the “Child Code”.

16 Attachment 1 OT Special Processes
Deviation in Standard Label from supplier OT Special Processes
Title
Description
Delivery Plant
Instead of the Delivery Plant the ID “14” has to be entered for an OT Unloading Point.
Unloading Point
The “Unloading Point” for the OT Special Processes is 453T0.
Point of Use
Instead of the ship to location or point of use the SAP Account Number of the recipient, e.g. a distribution center has to be
entered. In special OT call-off (DELJIT CALDEL), the SAP Account Number of the goods recipient is transmitted into the
NAD segment with the qualifier CN instead of the recipient plant.
License Plate
Here, the LHM number as a 12-digit package number has to be entered. It differs from all other delivery processes. The
LHM number is composed of the first three digits of the VOLKSWAGEN Supplier number + Index + 8-digit package
number. Example:
Old supplier number 5-digits and 1 digit index: 0252210 = 25221/0 => 252012345678
New supplier number 7-digits and 2 digits index: 0012563300 = 125633/0 => 125012345678.
Article Description

(Order number / Active order Number of the OT customer / orderer at OT, identified in call-off with qualifier CG)
 "ACF =" OT End customer Reference Order Number (20 digits)
(Reference number of the end customer, identified in call-off with qualifier ACF)
 "AAJ =" OT Delivery active order Number (10 digits)
(Active order number of the goods recipient, identified in call-off with qualifier AAJ)
 "ADF =" OT Master agreement Number (10 digits)
