Problems creating weighed items using EAN13 bar codes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JonD 210

Good evening,

I am trying to setup weighted items in inventory and am having some issues. When a sample is scanned the cashier is prompted for the weight. the bar code printed by the electronic scale contains the department (product) ID of the item and the total price of the item. Is there any assistance that can be provided to help me get the item and total on the POS without the weight prompt being displayed? An example of a scanned bar code is 2003700118806, the weight is 1.98lbs, the price is 60.00 and the total is 118.80. The item lookup code is 2003700000000. When scanned at POS we are prompted for the weight. Is there something I am doing wrong here? Please assist.

    First, remove the check box that indicates that it is a scale item.

    Then, make a mask setup with prefix 23 that means qty embedded barcode EAN13.

    I think qty. = weight in AX.

    Segment product 5 digits

    Segment qty 5 digits, 2 decimals or 3 only

    Segment check digit 1 digit

    Apply the following to the product without spaces:

    23 00001 00000 0 where:

    00001 is your product serial, change it as desired.

    00000 is the qty that comes from the scale, put it zeros.

    0 the system will tell you what to input here by viewing error expecting ( ) but found 0

    Just replace the last digit 0 with what's expecing in the error.

    Contact me any time.

    Hi Elaine,

    Thanks for this information, I will certainly try this out.

    Hi Ohimai,

    I did not get this issue resolved. I just saw the post from Elaine Skapetis and will be testing this. What I have been doing for items whose prices would exceed 999.99 is make that item a weighted item so when the barcode is scanned the cashier is prompted for the weight of the items. This has been working more or less ok for me.

    Regards

    You can set in Registry the Random Weight EAN:

    4I-V-5P Prefix/4 Code/Price verify/5 Price/Check digit IIIIVPPPPP
    5I-V-4P Prefix/5 Code/Price verify/4 Price/Check digit IIIIIVPPPP
    6I-4P Prefix/6 Code/4 Price/Check digit IIIIIIPPPP
    5I-5P Prefix/5 Code/5 Price/Check digit IIIIIPPPPP
    4I-6P Prefix/4 Code/6 Price/Check digit IIIIPPPPPP
    I-7P Prefix/3 Code/7 Price/Check digit IIIPPPPPPP

    I hope this can help you

    RE: Problems creating weighed items using EAN13 bar codes

    Hello JonD, I am having the same problem with the amount limits of $999.99 in RMS.  I am in Nigeria where our currency most often requires that you are scanning items up to N9999.99 or even N99999.99.  Have you been able to get help with this and if you have can you share?  Scans up to N9999.99 will do just fine.  I am wondering if the decimal points in the EAN code price read in RMS can be eliminated. Thank you.

    Hi Scott,

    I conducted a series of tests and all is well with Fernando's instructions. I have come across one issue that I hope to gain some help with, that is there is a limit to the amount that can be scanned. I would like to overcome this hurdle.

    RE: Problems creating weighed items using EAN13 bar codes

    Hi Fernando,

    You are correct and this does work perfectly. But as you also mentioned, the maximum value that can be scanned is $999.99. We have item barcodes that are in excess of that. When a product greater than $999.99 is scanned the search window pops up. I suspect that based n your explanation I will not be able to scan products greater than 999.99. Would you or anyone else be able to assist me with overcoming this barrier? I will need to scan items with totals greater than the price barrier.
