What To Consider?      

Retail Barcodes normally have a check sum number built into the last character of the Barcode. This does not apply to other Barcodes that are used to represent a Member or a Voucher. Sometimes, Venues have imported Barcode files that are padded with leading zeros of up to 14 characters. Since these are not considered valid Barcodes, they will not scan successfully in Touch.

 

When Is It Used?      

Used to report on any Barcodes that are invalid/unknown or non-manufacturer Barcodes and then provide a correct alternative in the form of the reported Manufacturer Barcode.  It is designed to support housekeeping activities in Swiftpos.
