How to: Test Parse Bar Codes

You can see what information JustFoodERP is finding when it parses a bar code.

Tips:

For GS1-128 bar codes:

Some GS1 application identifiers have fixed lengths. For example, the GTIN (01) must be 14 digits. If the data does not have the correct number of characters or digits, then the data cannot be parsed.
Negative values are converted to their absolute values.
- -123.456 is treated as 123.456
Values are rounded to significant digits equal to the maximum string length of the application identifier (AI).

For example, when the weight is in pounds, the AI is 320n, which needs to be 6 numbers in length, and where n is the number of decimals.
- 999999.499999999999 will be (3100)9999999
- 1.234567890123456 will be (3105)123457
- 0.0001234567 will be (3109)123457

To test parse bar codes

Open the Test Parse Bar Code window.

Navigate to /Departments/Administration/Application Setup/Warehouse/Labels/Test Parse Bar Code.
Enter the bar code in the Bar Code field.

When entering a GS1 bar code, you need to enter the number based on how the scanner reads the number. For example, if a GS1-128 bar code number is shown on the label as (01)00033315854721(15)170131(10)LOT785693(21)SER554768(3202)0049.90, and the separator is defined in the JustFoodERP Bar Code Setup as an equal sign (=), then you need to enter 0100033315854721=15170131=10LOT785693=21SER554768=3202004990= in the Bar Code field.
Tab off of the field. The Details FastTab is populated if the bar code is recognized.

Note: The Bar Code Type Code field will not be populated for pre-printed bar codes.
