I am working w/ a client to get the Microsoft RMS software going at his store. My problem when we exported the product data from his old system to new it cut off the last number of the barcode for each product. Can I make my scanner only read 11 characters in the Store Operations Manager?
Limiting Number of Characters barcode scanner can read

You should be able to program your scanner to ignore the check digit, which means it only reads the first 11 digits. You will have to look at your scanner documentation for the specifics The manual (usually on CD) should have some bar codes you can print out and scan to make the programming change to the scanner. It will have to be done for each scanner.

Ben,
Before you do anything, which digit did it drop, the first or the last?
If the first, you will need to re-import the data as it needs to be there.
If the last, yes, you can ignore the check digit, the last digit of the number. Look in the manual like Marc said.
You need to make sure that your export/import routine does not drop the leading zeros.
