    Hi Ravinder,

    I followed the steps you mentioned and created the discount barcode.

    But when I am trying to use it on pos by typing the barcode in search box, I am not getting anything.

    Can you please help me thanks.

    @RAVINDER RANA,

    I've been having the same problem as originally described, plus some.

    At which point is the check digit used?  

    When I enter in discount code, the barcode auto generates, but only with 11 characters.  This creates an issue when it comes time to add the barcode to the barcodes form.  Can you touch more on that side of the configuration?   Essentially I receive an error when adding the barcode to the barcode form saying the barcode is only 11 characters when it should be 13.  If I try adding 2 additional characters to the discount code, I then get a check sum error. I would assume the check digit would be calculating for that?
