Dear Bhaskar ,
EAN stands for European Article Number its used as unit of measure .Mostly within a company to identify articles at the point of sale (POS) using the barcode. With the EAN category the difference is made between different types of EANs, e.g. between instore and perishables EANs. The EAN category defines the following attributes of the corresponding EAN:
1.Type/method of number assignment (internal and/or external number assignment) and details as to whether alphanumerical EANs are allowed
2.Check-digit algorithm that checks whether a check digit is required
3.Prefix (for perishables EANs)
4.Length of the EAN
We can maintain characteristics for existing EAN categories in Customizing for the Article Master under Define characteristics for EANs. We can also define new EAN categories here.
