Hi
I would like to be able to use a barcode reader to scan barcodes of items and split the barcode string into different fields..........
So, if I had a barcode on a tin of soup of 12345678abc01012008 with the '12345678' meaning what the item is (e.g. a tin of soup), the 'abc' meaning the batch number and the '01012008' being an expiry date.
I would like to scan this existing barcode thats on the tin of soup once using a barcode reader and for my stock page to split it into:
Barcode: 123456789abc01012008
Item: 12345678
Batch Number: abc
Expiry:01012008
Before clicking save/submit at the bottom of the page. How do I do this?
Secondly........
I would also like to then add another number to the barcode. Say for example, I received ten tins of soup (from the same batch) to book into stock, the page could look like this:
Barcode: 123456789abc01012008
Item: 12345678
Batch Number: abc
Expiry:01012008
Number Received: [user selects number from drop down menu]
When I click submit I would like ten entries to be made (or whatever number were received) and the number added to the barcode field........ 123456789abc010120081 123456789abc010120082........... 123456789abc0101200810 etc
Can the entries also produce a barcode image so I can print out labels with barcodes on as well?!
Thanks
