Enable scanning of GS1-128 carton codes for picking and data collection.

Many businesses (food, medical etc.) use a GS1-128 barcode (or more recently a GS1-QR) that contains relevant package info, including things like batch, expiry date, SSCC number of the package, quantity contained in the package and GTIN of the internal unit. It would be really beneficial to be able to scan the GS1-128 code and have the app extract the data to (a) confirm you have the right package, (b) record the relevant data associated with the package for further processing like sending back to an EPR system and (c) using the SSCC to ensure the same package isn't scanned twice. The app could address a number of data collection issues if it could scan the code (either the QR or the GS1-128). This system is coming to all medical devices in the form of a mandated UDI code. If a business deals with grocery or hardware (Bunnings, Kmart etc.) it's pretty much mandatory to record all of this and send the data back, sometimes at the pallet level (i.e. scan boxes onto a pallet, and then have a record of what SSCC's were on a given pallet).

Hi there,
Today we have pushed an update to the app (available via the 'update now' banner when opening the app) that introduces a new settings page: GS1 Barcodes.
Enabling this setting allows GS1 barcodes to be scanned, with which we will compare the GTIN against the Order items' barcode field. If there is a match in the order you are picking, we will update the quantity picked based on the quantity stored in the GS1, and if you choose, we will capture and tag orders with:
- Serial number
- Batch number
- Expiration Date
- SSCC
If you attempt to pick the same GS1 in an order, you will receive an error letting you know that GS1 was already scanned.
If you attempt to pick a previously picked GS1, you will receive an error letting you know that GS1 has already been picked.
Please let us know how you get on and if there are any issues, or any additional enhancements to make.
Cheers!
