## How GS1 standards connect, PO to payment

1. 01 · 850
   ### Order arrives
   PO lines reference GTINs and ship-to GLNs
2. 02 · 855
   ### Order confirmed
   Quantities and dates acknowledged against the same GTINs
3. 03 · SSCC
   ### Cartons labeled
   GS1-128 labels carry a unique SSCC per carton or pallet
4. 04 · 856
   ### ASN sent
   Shipment detail lists every SSCC and its contents
5. 05 · 810
   ### Invoice paid
   Billing reconciles to the PO and ASN, so it clears
