You need to set up a specific weight type on the Units of Measure window, which allows GS1 weight parsing to identify which UOMs are pounds and kilograms.

1. Open the Units of Measure window.

   Navigate to /Departments/Administration/Application Setup/Purchase/Units of Measure.

2. Click Edit List.

3. For the unit of measure that represents kilograms, select Kilogram from the Specific Weight Type field.

4. For the unit of measure that represents pounds, select Pounds from the Specific Weight Type field.

5. Click OK.

   

You need to define the character that will be used to separate the bar code data fields.

Important: You need to set up your hand-help scanner so that it inserts a separator when scanning.  

1. Open the Bar Code Setup window.

   Navigate to /Departments/Administration/Application Setup/Warehouse/Labels/Bar Code Setup.

2. In the GS1 Separator Character (Unicode) field, enter the unicode that represents the separator that was defined on the scanner. For example, 61 is the unicode for the equals sign (=).

   Note: Do not set the separator to a character that might be found in the bar code.

   

3. Click OK.

The vendors that the JustFoodERP Company buys from all use different configurations of GS1-128 bar codes, which use application identifiers (AIs) to identify the different information in the bar code.

A GS1 bar code type needs to be set up that represents the AIs contained in the different GS1 vendor bar codes.

1. Open the Bar Code Types window.

   Navigate to /Departments/Administration/Application Setup/Warehouse/Labels/Bar Code Types.

2. Click New. The Bar Code Type Code Card window opens.

3. Enter the following information in the General FastTab:

   Field	Description
   Code	Code that represents the vendor bar code.
   Description	Enter a description of the vendor bar code.
   Type	Select the GS1-128.
   Default	Select this check box. When you select this check box, it means that this GS1 bar code type will be printed on the Inventory Label report.
   Allow Parsing	Select this check box, which allows this bar code type to be considered when trying to match a scanned bar code with a bar code type code.
   Parse Order	Enter 0.

   

4. Enter the following information in the Parsing FastTab. The Parsing FastTab contains the information that allows JustFoodERP to determine whether an incoming scanned bar code matches a bar code type.

   Field	Description
   First Two Chars are Numeric	Select this check box.
   First Two Chars are Valid AI	Select this check box.
   First Data Segment is Valid AI	Select this check box.

   

5. Set up the Details FastTab as follows:

   The values in the Data Field Code fields represent the AIs for the GS1 bar code.

   You can map a field to more than one Data Field Code. For example, Serial No. is mapped to 21 (serial number) and to 00 (serial shipping container code), which means if a bar code has 21 or 00 as an application identifier, the information will be mapped to the serial number.

   The Unit of Measure line has the same data field code as the Item No. line because the UOM is based on the GTIN. The GTIN and its UOM need to be cross-referenced with an item.

   The Quantity line where the Data Field Type is Constant inserts a quantity of 1 if an AI did not exist for the other two quantities.

   

6. Click OK.

In order for JustFoodERP to recognize a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), you need to cross-reference the GTIN with an item in JustFoodERP. GTINs are based on an item's UOM so you also need to specify the UOM for each GTIN.

The Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) for the item are as follows:

• Case: 70033315854715

• Pack (contains 4 cases): 70033315854722

• Pallet (contains 12 cases): 70033315854739

1. In the Search box, enter items, and then choose Items.

2. Open the item card for an item that you purchase from a vendor. In this case, BEEF EYE OF ROUND 10PC (FAM-RAW-00002).

3. On the Navigate tab, in the Master Data group, choose Cross References.

4. Add the following lines:

   Note: You must enter a valid GTIN otherwise the bar code cannot be scanned correctly.

   Cross-Reference Type	Cross-Reference No.	Bar Code Type Code	Unit of Measure
   Bar Code	70033315854715	VENDOR_GS1_ALL	CASE
   Bar Code	70033315854722	VENDOR_GS1_ALL	PACK
   Bar Code	70033315854739	VENDOR_GS1_ALL	PLT

5. Click OK.

   

You can check that you have set up your vendor bar codes correctly by test parsing the bar code. This will check the bar code, and if successful, will list the data found within the bar code.

When test parsing the bar code, you need to enter the bar code in the way that the scanner will read it. As a result, you need to remove unnecessary characters and spaces, and you need to add a separator (as defined on the Bar Codes Setup window) between data fields.

For example, a human readable vendor bar code number is shown as (01) 70033315854715 (15)170131 (10)LOT785693 (21) SER554768 (3202) 004990 but when test parsing the data, you need to remove the parentheses and spaces, and you need to insert separators between the data fields so that the code looks like 0170033315854715=15170131=10LOT785693=21SER554768=3202004990. Note: You do not have to insert a separator after a fixed length value, but if you do not know which values are fixed and which are variable, you can enter a separator between all of the data fields.

1. Open the Test Parse Bar Code window.

   Navigate to /Departments/Administration/Application Setup/Warehouse/Labels/Test Parse Bar Code.

2. Enter the bar code in the Bar Code field.

3. Tab off of the field. The Details FastTab is populated if the bar code is recognized.

   

The Olympic Wholesale bar code contains the application identifier 21, which represents the serial number, therefore you can keep the vendor label.

1. Open the Floor application.

2. From the Main Menu, tap Receiving.

3. Tap Whse. Receiving, and tap Search to view the list of warehouse receipts.

4. Select the warehouse receipt, and tap Open. The Warehouse Receipt Lines screen opens.

5. Select the line that you want to receive. The Guided Whse. Receipt Entry screen opens.

6. At the Bar Code field, scan the vendor bar code. The data in the bar code is read by Floor. If any required information is missing, you will be prompted to enter that information.

7. If prompted, enter any required information not included in the scanned bar code, and the press <Enter> to advance to the next field.

   If all of the items on the line have been entered, the field will stay on the last input field.

   If more items need to be entered for the line, you will be returned to the Bar Code field.

8. If returned to the Bar Code field, repeat steps 6 and 7.

9. If there are more lines to receive, move to the next line. 

10. When all of the items have been received, tap Post on the Whse. Receipt Entry screen to post the entire receipt.

The Ashley Costa bar code does not contain a 00 or 21 application identifier, which means a new label needs to be printed.

1. Open the Floor application.

2. From the Main Menu, tap Receiving.

3. Tap Whse. Receiving, and tap Search to view the list of warehouse receipts.

4. Select the warehouse receipt, and tap Open. The Warehouse Receipt Lines screen opens.

5. Select the line that you want to receive. The Guided Whse. Receipt Entry screen opens.

6. At the Bar Code field, scan the vendor bar code. The data in the bar code is read by Floor. If any required information is missing, you will be prompted to enter that information.

   Since the bar code does not have an application identifier of (00) or (21), you will see a message that says "Re-Labeling Required".

7. If prompted, enter any required information not included in the scanned bar code, and the press <Enter> to advance to the next field.

   Once you have entered information in the last field, when you press <Enter>, you will be automatically taken to the Print screen.

   Note: The displayed label is not the exact label that will be printed.

8. Tap Print. The label prints.

   If all of the items on the line have been entered, you will be returned to the last input field.

   If more items need to be entered for the line, you will be returned to the Bar Code field.

9. If returned to the Bar Code field, repeat steps 6 and 8.

10. If there are more lines to receive, move to the next line. 

11. When all of the items have been received, tap Post on the Whse. Receipt Entry screen to post the entire receipt.
