Description
| Excerpt |
|---|
The Mobile app can convert custom barcodes into the recommended Encoded Barcode (GS1) |
Barcode converters are configured using Mobile Configuration Files
Global
When you want custom barcodes to be handled in the entire app.
- Configured using "start.cfg"
Page-specific
When you want custom barcodes only to handled on a specific page.
- Configured using "Application.cfg"
Format
Converter expressions are wriiten as Regular Expressions
Examples
Length | Description |
^(\d.*)$ |
Any alfa-numeric string → converted to GS1 Item | |
^(\d{1,13})$ | Only 13-digit EAN numbers -> converted to GS1 Item |
Example 1: Page-specific: Code39 converted to GS1 Item on Receive Lines
Since AI91 is regarded as "Item No." but without the length constraint of AI01, this can be used for many 1D (linear) barcodes like Code39 or Code128.
In this example the data is 14 char, but can be arbritary length since AI91 allows for this.

Example 2: Global: Custom barcode converted into four AI's
Different positions of a barcode value, is broken into several "AI". See table below.

|---|---|---|---|---|

...
<scanner>
<type>internal</type>
<converter enabled="true" type="custom2gs1">
<customConfiguration expression="^64(\w{1,8})(\d{1,4})(\d{1,3})(\w{1,10})$" expressionAis="10,37,92,91"/>
</converter>

Example 2 position mapping table
| AI | Position | Length | Description |
1 | 2 | Organization, fixed value "64" | |
| 10 | 3 | 8 | External Order No. |
| 37 | 11 | 4 | Quantity |
| 92 | 15 | 3 | Quantity per Unit of Measure |
| 91 | 18 | 10 | SupplyID (Vores interne varenr) |
Note: See Register with Encoded Barcode (GS1) for a list of default AI's.
Error message
Invalid barcode format Barcode format error 'Invalid length'. The scanned value was 'xyz'
This can be the result of using AI01 which dictates a fixed length of 14 char.
Use AI91 instead.

Example
- Regular expression: ^(\d{1,6})(\d{1,5})$
- Test string: 11111122222
