Handling Barcodes with Embedded Weight/Price

Solteq Commerce Cloud supports barcodes with embedded weight or price; this is done by either

• simply adding the correct SKU for the product, or

• directly adding the type of the scale product and a short code.

When a barcode contains a weight or price of the individual product, it is stripped to its plain format and the check digit is calculated based on that. Value from that calculation is then used in every search.

• If the input is not identified as variable length code, it is used as is. In a Stock where quantities are used, the quantity is taken from quantity part in quantity codes with correct divider.

• Whole check for variable length code is input length 13, input is numeric and character 13 (check digit) matches the check digit that is calculated from the first 12 digits.

• Quantity is used only if the quantity in barcode is larger than zero.

• Price barcodes can be used in searches, but the quantity is not calculated in the Stock.

Example of prepackaged weight product settings (for details about the mod 10 formula, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm, for example ):

• Example package with barcode 2386584202176

• For this example, the correct SKU is 2386584200004.

  

• The product does not have the Scale short code, as it is not weighed on store; instead the product comes prepackaged to Stock, with SKU 2386584200004.

  

  The following table contains some examples of weight/price barcodes.
