Can we print Japan Article Number (JAN) bar code in NetSuite?

Question:
1. NetSuite supports bar code labels for the UPC A format and the EAN format. If an invalid number is entered in the UPC Code field, the bar code may not display properly.
2. JAN is a barcode standard specified by JIS-X-0501 (JIS: Japanese Industrial Standards), and used for almost all products distributed in retail stores in Japan. JAN brings many advantages to POS systems widely used in retail stores, among other places. Since JAN is compatible with UPC in the United States and Canada, and EAN in Europe, these codes can be used worldwide.
3. Can we print Japan Article Number (JAN) bar code in NetSuite as well?
Answer:
1. Japanese Article Number (JAN) is a barcode standard compatible with EAN.
2. The JAN codes are the same as the EAN codes.
3. JAN code has upper compatibility with EAN code, it can be printed in NetSuite.
4. For reading, it's no problem as long as a bar code reader supports EAN/JAN code.
5. If customer need to go custom, we have a hook with BFO.  The documentation is here:
