Barcode Nomenclature Configuration

Overview

The Barcode Nomenclature system allows you to define how barcodes are structured and decoded. This enables automatic extraction of product information, weight, price, and quantity directly from barcodes, significantly speeding up transaction processing.

Accessing Barcode Nomenclature Settings

  1. Go to "Point of Sale" > "Configuration"
  2. Click the "Barcode Nomenclature" tab
  3. You will see the available rules

Default Barcode Rules

The system includes 5 pre-configured GS1-compatible default rules:

Creating Custom Barcode Rules

  1. Click "Add New Rule"
  2. Select the Barcode Type:
    • Product - Standard product lookup
    • Weight - Embedded weight value
    • Price - Embedded price value
    • Quantity - Embedded quantity value
    • Lot/Serial - Lot or serial number
  3. Enter the Prefix (e.g., "21", "22") - first digits of the barcode
  4. Set Product Code Digits - how many digits represent the product code (usually 5)
  5. Set Value Digits - how many digits represent the embedded value (e.g., 5 for weight/price)
  6. Set Divider for precision:
    • 1 = Integer (no decimals)
    • 10 = 1 decimal place
    • 100 = 2 decimal places
  7. Review the Decode Preview with an example barcode
  8. Click "Save"

Example: Setting Up a Weight Barcode

  1. Click "Add New Rule"
  2. Select "Weight" from Barcode Type
  3. Enter Prefix: "21"
  4. Product Code Digits: 5
  5. Value Digits: 5
  6. Divider: 100
  7. Test with barcode: "2100001002500"
    • System shows: Product Code 00001, Weight 25.00kg
  8. Click "Save Configuration"

Managing Barcode Rules

Barcode Decoding Process

When a barcode is scanned during sales:

  1. System extracts barcode prefix
  2. Matches against configured rules (longest prefix first)
  3. If rule matches: extracts product code and embedded value
  4. If no rule matches: uses standard product barcode lookup (fallback)
  5. Applied value is divided by the divider for decimal precision
  6. Item is automatically added to cart with decoded values
