Force use of Barcode

Cleared

Selected

If the checkbox is selected, the Voucher Item must have its barcode scanned to be redeemed.

For example: Vouchers that require validation may have this field selected, whereas vouchers such as newspaper coupons may have this field cleared, since they have no barcodes and are only required to be presented to the POS Operator.

No Duplicate Barcode in Order

Cleared

Selected

If the checkbox is selected, the barcode can only be used once per transaction.

For example: Only one adult ticket voucher may be used per transaction. If there are 2 tickets in the order, one must be paid for.

Serial No. Position

X, Y where X is the start of the range and Y is the end

Indicates where the serial number begins in the barcode. This is usually after the Barcode Code/Product Code prefix and continues through to the end of the barcode.

For example: 6,12indicates that a voucher item has a 12-digit barcode. This includes a 5-digit Product Code prefix such as V9000 at the beginning, and the serial number starts at the 6th digit and continues through the the 12th (final) digit of the barcode.

If the Serial No. Position is set and indicates the end position of the barcode, the length can be left blank.

Check Formula

2

3

The checksum formula used to validate barcodes.

It is possible to use commas to separate methods.

For example: 3,1 means that method 3 will be used first, and then method 1.

Print on Voucher

Selected

If the checkbox is selected, purchasing this Item will print a Voucher which can be taken to another area of the cinema and redeemed.

This works in combination with the Print on Voucher setting on the Workstation form.
