- When MAN01 contains code "UC" (U.P.C. Shipping Container Code) and MAN05/MAN06 contain a range of ID numbers, MAN03 is not used. The reason for this is that the U.P.C. Shipping Container code is the same on every carton that is represented in the range in MAN05/MAN06.
When used for PGA data entry, always Enter ’ZZ’
Marks and numbers used to identify a shipment or parts of a shipment
- When both MAN02 and MAN03 are used, MAN02 is the starting number of a sequential range and MAN03 is the ending number of that range.

For AMS, the valid value allowed is AM1.
For ATF, the valid value allowed is AT6.
