Redwood: Barcode Preprocessing for Mobile

The new Barcode Preprocessing View in Warehouse Management (Redwood Desktop) enhances inventory operations by allowing administrators to define and manage how barcodes are interpreted and validated at scan time. The option for configurable preprocessing and validation logic ensures data accuracy, compliance, and operational efficiency.

You can now set up barcode validation rules that automatically trigger when a barcode is scanned. This includes design rules based on company, user group, and facility for tailored processing across your enterprise. You can configure sequences and conditions under which a barcode must meet specific criteria (such as exact length, minimum length, begins with a certain prefix, or matches a regular expression).

REJECT BARCODE FLAG

Optionally, use the Reject Barcode Flag to enable rules to reject invalid barcodes. If a barcode matches a “reject” rule, the system halts processing and immediately alerts the user below the entry field, ensuring real-time error notification.

BARCODE PREPROCESSING APIs

Additionally, you can initiate Barcode Preprocessing via the following GET APIs:

The Barcode Preprocessing API Retrieves a list of barcode preprocessing entities, detailing the current configurations used for handling barcode data within the system.

GET .../wms/lgfapi/v10/entity/barcode_preproc

The Barcode Preprocessing Match Rules API fetches the set of rules applied to match and interpret barcode data during the preprocessing phase.

GET .../wms/lgfapi/v10/entity/barcode_preproc_match_rules

The Barcode Preprocessing Updates API provides information about recent updates or changes made to the barcode preprocessing configurations.

GET .../wms/lgfapi/v10/entity/barcode_preproc_updates

Steps to Enable and Configure

Barcode preprocessing rules require the configuration of rules in the new Barcode Preprocessing screen.
