Managing Barcode Definitions
If the GS1 standard doesn't make sense for your operations, our Barcode Definitions page allows you to create static barcode maps for barcodes that contain one or more data points. You can configure multi-part barcodes, single-value barcodes, and even group both types of barcodes together for SmartScan to recognize.
For example, if a carton contains three required barcodes—such as UPC, Lot Number, and Expiration Date—and you have these three barcodes configured into one barcode definition, after you scan one of the barcodes, SmartScan will prompt you to scan the remaining barcodes in the group to accurately identify the item.
