Random Weight UPC Code with embedded price.

How do I set up the following UPC scans to recognize the embedded price?

Scan 200999001006, is the scan for $ 1.00 Scan 200999050004, is the scan for $ 50.00 Scan 200999187670, is the scan for $187.67

I am using POS 2.0.0105

I have checked the Utilize rendom weight EAN and UPC codes in the Configuraton POS options tab, but I am having trouble from that point.

Please help.

I would appreciate all the help you can give me.

Thanks,

Kent

hi Kent, Well if you have already prefix the below lookupcode so why you are going then on Weight barcode. it is simple just go and print the barcode for the below codes set the retial prices as you mentioned. You mentioned below that the following code once scan the price would have to be come 1,50 etc then I think it not make sense to consider the weighted code. Weighted barcode generate base on the weight and it is random. however at the POS once you scan any weight barcode it reads the segments of the code which include the check digits, product code, price etc.

Hope this clear to you.

I do not understand. I don't want to enter 100,000 items into the database to read the 1 cent increments from this externally generated barcode. Between $10.00 and $11.00, I would have to enter 100 items to my database. and the price range is between 49cents up to $999.99. That is why I want to read the embedded price in the externally generated bar code. The reason I mentioned weighted barcodes is because someone previously stated that was the way to go.

Any Ideas from anyone would be of help.

Thanks,

Kent

hi Kent, I do understand this, the one way you can do this is that in label designer place the picture objects and in the field specific the picture. then in the item attached the picture of the price could be $1,2,3 etc. I know it will be hard for the item when it is more than 20. but I can also let you know the simple way which is that you can run the update query against the Item table using the SO Administration program. the following is the query:

update item set picturename='10centpicture.bmp' where itemlookupcode between

20000000 and 20000010

above is the logic I am not sure how mcuh you understand but just clearify me is that solve your issue or not.

I replyed to your previous post with instructions, but I think you have a problem. random weight upc only supports price up to $99.99. You need to switch to EAN, which supports up to $999.99 UPC format: p#####s$$$$c p = prefix (2) ##### = 5 digit PLU s = secondary check digit $$$$ = 4 digit price c = check digit

EAN Format: pp#####$$$$$c pp = prefix (20 or 02) ##### = 5 digit PLU $$$$$ = 5 digit price c = check digit

The formats are not defined by RMS or Microsoft - they are industry standards.
