Notes:
1. Ean 13= DEPMENT+CODE+[TOTAL PRICE]+[WEIGHT]+C
Items with [] mean no this item in some coding system.
2. Usually Ean13 adopts 2 or 22 as its price barcode type while 7 or 77 as its weight barcode type.
3. CHECKSUM is calculated by the scale automatically and it is not necessary for user to input in PLU manager.
4. The difference between 30-32 and 33-35 is the method to calculate checksum.
5. The difference between 40-45 and 30-35 is that the price in 30-35 is total price while in 40-45 is unit price.
6. 36-38 is barcode type, which can be accessed by live batch management. Commodity batch number takes up commodity number column and commodity number takes up live code column.

12.4 Appendix 4: Live Commodity Batch Management
Merits of live commodity batch management:
It can check every batch separately, take different discount in different period within self time, show warning message when the commodity is going to be overdue (degenerative or even decayed), find out the overdue batch and process in time.
General flow chart of live commodity batch management:
Batch number is created when the live commodity is bought. Its forma is: Year (1) + Week of year (2) + day of week (1), four number totally. At the same time, name, code, batch number of the commodity are put into the batch commodity in order for the packing person to identify the commodity correctly. Commodity code + batch number is used to identify the batch of the commodity in the following task flow chart.
Our company has already complete batch management function currently which can be realized by adding three kinds of bar code. When user calls this kind of PLU, the scale will show a prompt for the user to input batch number. These three kinds of bar code type is as following:
Bar code type
Department Live LFD code
Commodity number
Discount Weight
36-38: 18 code, the former code prints department code which is special for live commodity batch management.

I: commodity number P: price
R: discount Q: weight
Notes:
1. Live code corresponds to background management system commodity code and commodity number corresponds to background management system batch number.
2. Commodities requiring batch management is those packed background. Bach management is not used to the commodity sold and weighed in the spot.
3. How Cash register makes a difference between batch number and non-batch number when it decodes.
Thee are two methods: (1) Set different department code, for example: Set the department code 2 which doesn‟t require batch management and 3 which does require batch management. (2) Live code can be resolved out because the live code position and length of two kind of 18 code are same. And then distinguish between batch commodity and non-batch commodity according to live code.
4. Using step; Screen shows the prompt to input batch number when calling PLU. Input four-digit code and put on weight.
