Comarch Retail POS, it is possible to identify a scanned object based on a code format defined for it.
The section POS Workstations on the ribbon (in the tab POS Workstations available upon editing a center of the Company type) has been provided with a new button [Barcode Templates].
Selecting this button opens a list enabling the definition of code format templates for particular objects. Code formats have the form of a regular expression. The list is composed of three columns:
- Object Name – a selection field for the available types of objects: Item, Document, Customer, Voucher, Employee
- Code Format – a text field where a regular expression can be entered
- – this column is hidden by default
Code format templates are defined within a company, and once they are saved, they are automatically sent to all POS workstations attached to centers subsidiary to a given company.
- Logon screen
- Modal windows (e.g. messages, adding customer address)
- The view of starting/ending a day (unless a customer is scanned)
Except for defining code formats, it is also necessary to activate the functionality of context scanning by selecting a relevant parameter on the center form in the tab POS Workstations.
Context scanning of a customer
If a customer code is scanned:
- The indicated customer is added as Customer/Secondary Customer in a document (R, SI, SQ, SO, ASI, SCL, TF, or in a manual correction). Context scanning for the Customer object is deactivated in the case of export confirmations in TF documents
- The indicated customer is added to CD/CW documents as Payer
- The indicated customer should be searched on the list of customers
- The indicated customer’s form will open in any other place in the preview mode
Context scanning of an item
If an item code (or lot number) is scanned:
- The indicated item should be searched on the list of items
- In any other place, the application will open the list of items narrowed down to the selected item/lot
- The indicated item will be added as a document item in a document (it does not refer to TF documents)
Upon scanning a lot number in the window Select Properties (feature selection), the application will search for a relevant lot of a given item and substitute it on the list of document items.
