• Allow same item to be included more than once in any worksheet

Starting with release 3.11.10, you can include the same item more than once in any worksheet. In previous releases, if you attempted to add the same item more than once, the warning message "Item already exists" displayed and you could not add the item. Now, if you add the item more than once, the item is simply added to a new row (it is not consolidated with the previous item entry).

• New configuration option for random weight EAN-13 barcodes

Starting with release 3.11.10, you can configure the format for random weight EAN-13 barcodes (sometimes referred to as price embedded barcodes) to support item prices greater than $999.99.

The EAN-13 number starts with a GS1 prefix. The 02 and 20 prefixes are typically used for vendor-packaged goods with varying weight (such as chicken), while the 21 to 29 prefixes are used for either proprietary products (own brand or unbranded) or items packaged in store. The prefix is followed by an item code (sometimes referred to as the PLU), price, and a check digit. The format may also include a price verifier.

The number of digits used for the item code and price can vary. Together, the lengths of the item code and price must be 10 digits. For example, if the item code is 4 digits, the price must be 6 digits. Similarly, if you require 8 digits for the price, you are limited to 2 digits for the item code.

Before you can use EAN-13 barcodes in your store(s), you must configure POS to support random weight EAN-13 barcodes. You can do this by going to File | Configuration | POS Options and selecting Utilize random weight EAN codes. The new EAN-13 format configuration option is available in Central Manager or Store Manager under Setup | Miscellaneous | Random Weight EAN.

Note: If your stores are centrally-managed using Central Manager, you must configure these EAN-13 options in Central Manager.
