Specification & Structural Breakdown
Technical Summary: Validates strictly against GS1 General Specifications & AI Syntax. Payloads are parsed in memory and return clean, typed JSON in milliseconds with zero data logged.
AI (37) is the COUNT of trade items contained in a variable-measure trade item identified by AI (02) CONTENT.
The value is numeric and zero-padded to a fixed 6 digits, and it always follows AI (02) in the same barcode.
Decoders normalize the padded value to an integer count for inventory and point-of-sale systems.
| Property | Value |

Frequently Asked Questions & Technical Notes
AI (37) is the count of trade items inside a variable-measure trade item. It always accompanies AI (02) CONTENT so a point-of-sale system can price the exact quantity.
AI (37) is fixed length: 6 numeric digits, zero-padded. Because it is fixed length, no FNC1 separator is required after it.
