Description

Barcode converters are configured using Mobile Configuration File

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

^(\d.*)$"

^(\d{1,13})$

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.

<page id="ReceiveLines" type="OrderLines" icon="mainmenureceive">
  <title defaultValue="@{PageReceiveOrderLinesTitle}"/>
  <orderLinesConfiguration suggestQuantity="true" verifySingleScanRegistrations="false" actionOnEmptyList="ClosePage">
    <service id="Receive"/>
    <list listId="OrderLines"/>
    <...>
    <scanToSelectBehaviour gs1SearchTerm="Item" behaviour="Auto">
      <converter expression="^(\d{1,14})$" expressionAis="91"/>
    </scanToSelectBehaviour>
  </orderLinesConfiguration> 
...

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 

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.
