Set UPC Attributes

This function is removed in the Java PocketFlash application because scanning is performed by a DataWedge program and any custom configuration is done within the DataWedge program.  This function has been reinstated in the Android/iOS application in order to modify certain results obtained by the mobile device's camera.  The information provided below is this function's documentation as it was written for the original Visual Basic application.

The Set UPC Attributes window is used to specify which parts of a UPC are to be used when attempting to locate a scanned UPC in the database.

The settings available on this window pertain specifically to UPC-A and UPC-E.  A UPC-A is typically a 12-digit number whereas a UPC-E is typically an 8-digit number.  Both codes include a prefix and a suffix.  For scanning purposes, the prefix and suffix can be turned on or off so that the scanned results will coincide with how the corresponding products are identified in the database.

Data Fields

• Prefix (application or industry code)
  Optional.  Checkbox.
  Tap on the checkbox to indicate whether the UPC prefix is to be included in scanned results (checked) or excluded from scanned results (unchecked).
• Manufacturer and product number
  Required.  Checkbox.
  Tap on the checkbox to indicate whether the UPC manufacturer and product number are to be included in scanned results (checked) or excluded from scanned results (unchecked).
• Suffix (checksum digit)
  Optional.  Checkbox.
  Tap on the checkbox to indicate whether the UPC suffix is to be included in scanned results (checked) or excluded from scanned results (unchecked).
• Perform expansion on scanned codes
  Optional.  Checkbox.
  Tap on the checkbox to indicate whether scanned UPC-E codes are to be auto-expanded into their corresponding UPC-A values.  A checkmark denotes auto-expansion is on.

Actions

• Tap Save to save your UPC attribute settings.  A message is displayed when the save processing has finished.  You are then returned to the Functions Menu window.
• Tap Cancel to return to the Functions Menu window.  Any changes made are ignored.
