Barcode quantity is a way to map quantities with barcodes. It is a way to make the application aware, that there is a difference between scanning a barcode on a box, and on the individual item.
In this way scanning the barcode on a box, will result in the quantity from the box to be used.
Barcode quantity is defined on the individual order line in the <BarcodeQuantity >...</BarcodeQuantity> element. The content of the element is a list of barcodes mapped to quantities.
<BaseOrderLine>
...
<BarcodeQuantity enableMultiplier="true">1234567891234{12}[Box];9876543219876{120}[Pallet]</BarcodeQuantity> <!-- enableMultiplier is false by default -->
<RegisterQuantityByScan>false</RegisterQuantityByScan>
...
</BaseOrderline>
Register Quantity By Scan
Barcode quantity was initially implemented to be used with RegisterQuantityByScan, and allows the user to increment the quantity by the quantity related to the scanned barcode.
So if a 1234567891234 was scanned, that would entail a registration of 12 according the the BarcodeQuantity element above,
A list of valid barcode - quantites.
Used when RegisterQuantityByScan is true or by itself.
Example: <BarcodeQuantity>PAPER1BOX{5}[Box];PAPER1PL{240}[Pallet]</BarcodeQuantity>
Barcode "PAPER1BOX" will bump the picked quantity with 5, "PAPER1PL" bump with 240.
Optional, String list (";" is seperator, quantity specified in {}), control field.
An alias can be defined in [ ] after the quantity. The alias is displayed if the line is selected by scanning a BarcodeQuantity and RegisterQuantityByScan is disabled. From v. 1.5.12
Register Quantity
Scanning a barcode quantity barcode when displaying the regular quantity step, will result in the user being presented with the quantity from the barcode, and not the remaining.
Enabling barcode quantity multiplication
Available from v. 1.5.12
Enabling barcode quantity multiplication allows the user to enter how many e.g. boxes where picked up. This will result in a registration which multiplies the user input of boxes, and the amount of individual items the box can contain.
