02 Application Identifier And Check Digit

Good evening everyone.

 

I need to produce a barocode for a customer. EAN 128, 02 application identifier. The problem is that the sample provided to me contains 14 digits (00000000012458, where 12458 is product code). When I try to create this barcode, I can only import 13 digits. The 14th is provided automatically as check digit (e.g. 0000000124586) 

 

At barcode properties the tab for including check digit is disabled.

 

How can I get rid of it? I need a barcode EXACTLY like the customer has asked.

 

Thanks in advance...

  You actually can't. Due to our GS1 certification we cannot allow for creation of labels that don't meet the appropriate GS1 standard for a specific application identifier. Since the 02 identifier is for a 13 digit number with an added check digit, the software is always going to parse the final digit and add the check digit for that specific 13 digit code. So if I use 00000000012458, I expect to see 00000000012454, which is the correct check digit for the first 13 characters that are passed to it. Maybe taking off one of the leading zeroes and allowing the check digit to be created from the resulting 13 characters might work?
