Price/Weight Embedded In SKU Setup |
|
The purpose is to define the structure of a barcode which will include a price or weight in the barcode. This option is often used in retail stores which sell products by weight. Also known as Random Weight or UPC-B.
Note: The scale hardware must have a keyboard interface to be functional with POSitive.
In the packaging process a scale prints a barcode with the price (or weight) embedded in the barcode. When POSitive scans the barcode it will not only identify the product but also the selling price (or the quantity) and properly complete the invoice.
Advance Setup
You must activate and define the Price/Weight In SKU option.
Go to File: System: System Setup: Inventory
Select the Pricing tab on the right
Choose the "Price In SKU Setup" button
Activate Price In SKU - must be checked or this feature will not function
Hidden Decimal Places - most generally a 2
Embedded Information - choose one or the other. You cannot use both.
Price Embedded - the second half of the SKU will show the price with Qty field assumed to be 1.
Weight Embedded - the second half of the SKU will show the weight which will fill in the Qty field.
SKU Number Range (the SKU is most always 6 characters)
Lower Limit - most generally 200000
Upper Limit - most generally 299999
Embedded Spec
Prefix - most generally a 7
Suffix - most generally a 2
Do not use a suffix if your scanner is not set to read the check digit (see below)
Price In SKU
If the Price Embedded option has been activated, and a package of milk chocolates which has the SKU 2000007002362 is scanned onto the invoice, the 236 portion will be the selling price.
The result of the scanned SKU sells the milk chocolates at 2.36. Remember that the 7 is the leading character, 2 is the ending character and the characters in between are the price with an assumed 2 decimal places.
Weight In SKU
If the Weight In SKU option has been activated, and a package of milk chocolates which has the SKU 2000007002362 is scanned onto the invoice, the 236 portion of the SKU becomes the quantity.
Editing The Entry
As with other inventory items, you may edit the scanned product and change the selling price or quantity manually.
SCANNER POS CODES
Scanners can be programmed to capture data in 15 different ways, as detailed in this snapshot.
