Set up EAN-13 price and weight barcodes

EAN-13 scan commands are configured in the Admin Center. The configuration must match the barcode format used by the scale, label printer, or barcode system.

The scan command tells POS365 which part of the barcode identifies the product and which part contains the price or weight.

Step 1:

1) Open the Admin Center and go to 'Setup'

2) Click on 'Scan commands'

3) Click 'Create'

Step 2:

1) Enter the relevant information in 'Value', 'TargetPurposeId', and 'Priority'

Value: The prefix used at the beginning of the barcode. The value must match the prefix configured in the scale or barcode system.

TargetPurposeId: Defines how POS365 should interpret the variable value contained in the barcode.
Select the purpose that matches the barcode:

  • EAN13Price: Use this when the barcode contains a price.
  • EAN13Weight: Use this when the barcode contains a weight or quantity.

Priority: Determines the order in which POS365 evaluates scan commands. This is relevant when multiple scan commands could match the same barcode.

2) Click 'Settings'

Step 3:

1) Configure the fields so they match the structure of the barcode:

Divisor: Determines how the encoded price or weight is converted into a decimal value. For example, with a divisor of '100', an encoded value of '01199' is interpreted as '11.99'. The divisor must match the number of decimals used by the scale or barcode system.

Prefix length: Defines how many digits at the beginning of the barcode belong to the prefix. The length must correspond to the prefix entered in the 'Value' field.

Product ID length: Defines how many digits in the barcode are used to identify the product. The configured length must match the product section generated by the scale or barcode system.

Price length: Defines how many digits contain the variable price or weight. Although the field is named 'Price length', it is used for both EAN13Price and EAN13Weight.

Padding digit: Defines the digit used to fill empty positions when a product identifier is shorter than the configured Product ID length. For example, a padding digit can be added in front of a shorter item number so it matches the required barcode length.

2) Click 'OK' when the settings have been entered

3) Click 'Save'

 

Example:



With the above settings, this EAN13 will give a price of 10

 21 01999 01000 6 

21, describes that this is a price barcode

01999, defines the item

01000, Defines the price, divided with the divisor (100)

6, Check digit
