EAN parameter
The program description deals with the following:
- Remarks on Program function
- Remarks on Data fields
- Use Index to find the field details required.
Remarks on program function
This program – started via Application -> Organisation -> Branch can be used to update EAN parameters. These parameters will be used whenever an EAN shall be scanned at the cash register that contains a special field type, e.g. price, weight etc. If an EAN does not contain such field type, no EAN parameter will be necessary. EAN parameters are not restricted to use with items, in addition, EAN parameters can also be specified for departments and customers.
An EAN number consists of different parts:
- The identification,
- The check character(s),
- Field 1
- and Field 2.
The system uses the identification to recognize what kind of EAN number it is. It differs between
- EAN Code Parameter setting EAN Code
- EAN Press Code Parameter setting EAN Press Code and EAN_Press Code (414/419)
- and the ISBN Code
Note to ISBN Code:
Books with ISBN Code will be specified in the Item tablelike any other item, inclusive fixed item price. During sales operation, they will be sold as "normal" items, scanned via EAN. - EAN Weight ItemEAN Code
- • Customer numbers can be read via EAN code as well. You find an example under reading an EAN Customer Number.
The type of EAN specifies how the EAN number must be split to read it correctly.
In addition to structuring the EAN, this program can be used to decide which key will be used to finalize the EAN processing and whether bocking shall be made on item or department level.
Remarks on data fields
The following description deals with all available options for update of this basic data.
As with nearly all other programs the following also applies here:
- The entry mask for this program may differ in your MICROS Retail OSCAR POS program. Some data fields may be missing.
- There may be defaults or firmly defined selection options for some data fields. These cannot be updated in the current program.
- Fields with enforced entry defined are to be found in the entry masks as are fields where entry is optional.
- If the data record is updated over several pages of entry masks, the dialog window is reached by clicking onto the appropriate button with <Mouse key 1>.
- The same procedure also applies to call up of another update program from this program.
- In some cases you may find so-called "Switches" which are activated or deactivated by the user with <Mouse key 1>, depending on the setting. Activated switches have a dark top, deactivated switches are.
Company
Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 9999
Number of the company for which the EAN parameter shall be defined.
Branch
Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 99999
Number of the branch for which the EAN parameters shall be valid.
Identifikation
Entry range permitted: alphanumeric max. 14 pos.
Enter the universal identification number of the EAN. The identification number is part of the EAN. Each item will be identified via the identification number (e.g. 21 for weight items, 24 for department with sales, 26 for no. Of pieces, 27 for package price, 434/439 for press code with full or reduced VAT rate etc.) and therefore the read data can be processed.

Description
Entry range permitted: alphanumeric max. 20 pos.
During creation, enter the name of the EAN type here. It should be descriptive (e.g. EAN 24, EAN 25, weight item, press code 7 % etc.).
Input length
Entry range permitted: numeric, 1 - 99
Enter maximum number of digits of the EAN. Default value is 13. However, you can overwrite the number.
Note:
- If a press code (434 or 439) shall be read, please enter 13 as input length. Prepare the scanner for reading 13 digits as well. A different value would lead to the error message "Invalid item number".
Simulates key
Entry range permitted: alphanumeric max. 20 pos.
This entry decides how the item will be booked, in standard case as item or as department. Enter the corresponding key code here. Keep in mind that it does not lead to a possibly existing entry under Book to PLU/Dept.. While frequently items will be booked viy PLU, journals (EAN press code) will be booked usually via dept. The entry depends on the retail philosophy of your branch.
- Entry for item booking: FWn
- Entry for dept. booking: fDEPTn
- To scan a customer number, enter CUSTOMERn.
- If a receipt with printed Bar code shall be scanned, enter SCANNEDREC here.
- If a Vensafe product card shall be scanned, enter VENSAFEn.
- For meal coupons enter "MEALCOUPONn".
You find further examples under:
- EAN Code with a Customer Number,
- EAN Code (Weight Items)
- EAN code with item price
- EAN Press Codes (Sales Price in Code)
- Vensafe bar code
- Bar code print on receipt.
- EAN Code for Meal coupons
- EAN-Code Entrance voucher
You find a listing of key codes under
Book to PLU/Dept.
Entry range permitted: decimal, max. 10 digits, no decimal places
If an item shall be booked on dept (e.g. journals, see EAN press code), enter the department number here. Therefore these journals will not be created as Item . Due to the specific EAN, the system identifies press items and books the price contained within the EAN on the corresponding department.
You find examples for parameter settings under Parameter Settings EAN Code (Weight Items) and Parameter Settings: EAN Press Codes (Sales Price in Code).
Offset field 1
Entry range permitted: numeric, 0 - 98
Enter the starting position of the 1st field of the EAN within the whole number, e.g. starting at the 3rd position. Keep in mind that position start with 0 (Example: Entry 2 = 3rd position).
Within the graphics EAN Code and EAN Press Code, the structure of different EAN codes will be presented with an example.
You find examples for parameterization zu Parametrierungen under Parameter Settings EAN Code (Weight Items) and Parameter Settings: EAN Press Codes (Sales Price in Code).
Length field 1
Entry range permitted: numeric, max. 20
Digit count of 1st field.
App 0 Fld1
Entry range permitted: numeric, 0 - 15
This value specifies how many zeroes shall be appended to the field length.
Note:
For example, if this field is a price field, you can ensure the use of the correct number of
decimal places by appending of zeroes.
Example:
If field 1 has length 5 and the value 12345 would be within the EAN code, in case of a payment with two
decimal places, a price of 123.45 Euro would be read. To calculate the correct price, two zeroes will
be appended resulting in the correct price of 12345.00 Euro.
Division by 10, 100, 1000 etc. will be specified by the decimal places of the payment type.
Offset field 2
Entry range permitted: numeric, 0 - 98
Enter the starting position of the 2nd field of the EAN within the whole number, e.g. starting at the 8th position. Keep in mind that position start with 0 (Example: Entry 7 = 8th position).
Length field 2
Entry range permitted: numeric, max. 20
No. of digits of the 2nd part value contained in the EAN code.
Type field 2
Field with firmly defined selection options
The system offers eight types:
- Price = Check with entry in field Zahlungsart. If field 2 shall not be interpreted as prive in basic payment type, the corresponding payment type must be specified there.
- Amount =
- Weight =
- Other = Select this type ehenever no decimal places shall be used.
- AMS AddOn (Cactus)
This type is for AMS items (CD and DVD media). The AMS labels have 2 Bar codes.
The upper bar code line contains theAMS specific EAN as EAN13 and starts with 4015220 to 4015228.
The lower bar code line contains a code 128C bar code that contains zeile beinhaltet im Format Code128C amongst others the price.

decimal places by appending of zeroes.
Example:
If field 2 has length 5 and the value 12345 would be within the EAN code, in case of a payment with two
decimal places, a price of 123.45 Euro would be read. To calculate the correct price, two zeroes will
