Barcode Processor - 01060100001

The barcode processor is not a POS function in the proper sense of the term but a data processing instance within the POS application.

It is called whenever a string requiring interpretation is provided by the input manager. The barcode processor must also be activated if the data is entered via the keyboard.

The interpretation consists of the following steps:

  • Validate the entered barcode against existing barcode rules
  • Call the actions stored for the determined barcode rule

When calling a POS function, parameters can be transferred. These parameters can either be filled with values from the barcode or with values according to the function context. All parameters transferred at function call must be part of the function definition. It is required that the defined data types are taken into account.
