Warn on scan

From v. 1.8.1.

When performing planned registrations, the order line dictates which values are registered and checked for validity. This is a bit different in the unplanned scenarios, although validation is still performed.
A new form of validation has been introduced in v. 1.8.1 where values in a multi value barcode, like Gs1, can be verified even before it is processed, and without the value being needed for a registration. Validation is setup in start.cfg and works across the application. This means that if a barcode is scanned, and a value fails the warnOnScan functionality, the user will be presented with a warning. Whether the user is allowed to proceed or not is up to the configuration.

<start ...> 
  <!-- SCANNER -->
  <scanner>
    <type>internal</type>
    <gs1Support enabled="true">
      <warnOnScan>
        <expirationDate eanAI="12,15,17" warningType="Warn" addDays="5"/>
      </warnOnScan>
      ...
    </gs1Support>
  </scanner>
</start>

Expiration date

When scanning a multi value barcode that contains an expiration date the application can be setup to warn if the date is expired.

• eanAI: "12,15,17" - Defines which Gs1 AI's to look for.

• warningType: "Warn" - Decides which type of warning is displayed to the user. 

• • Block: Blocks the user from using the barcode, hence, the barcode will be ignored after dismissing the message.
  • Warn: Warns the user about the date, but allows proceeding if the user selects to do so.
  • None: Does not display any warnings, and is the same as having the functionality disabled.
• addDays: "0" - Can be a positive or a negative number, modifying the barcode date, to have the warning displayed earlier or later than the actually scanned  date.
