GS1 Overview
...
More advanced GS1 support is OpenLMIS would be generating GS1 identifiers. To generate a GS1 identifier, OpenLMIS would need to be given a valid company prefix licensed to the implementer. By creating an identifier OpenLMIS could generate new id's for shipments, EPCIS events, products (such as creating Kits), etc. Generating GS1 identifiers in OpenLMIS would most likely not have a high-enough ROI unless OpenLMIS was sharing those identifiers in GDSN to other third-parties in a countries supply chain. The most likely candidate would be a private 3PL supply-chain company responsible for moving stock within a country.
