Dynamics 365 for Retail – Price & QTY Embedded Barcodes

In Retail, sometimes there is a requirement where you need to create a barcode for the product with Embedded price and qty i.e. the price of the item and the qty is also mapped in the barcode. So, whenever you scan the barcode, the system will automatically take the price and qty from the barcode itself. So, today I will show you how to create this type of barcode in D365 Retail module and also how it will work on Retail MPOS.

Step Details:

1. Create Bar Code Masks Setup

Create a new Bar code mask setup as shown in the below picture. The navigation of the form is Retail/Inventory Management /Bar Codes And Labels/Bar Code Mask Setup

2. Create a Bar Code Setup

Create a new Bar code setup and select the barcode mask which we have created in step 1 as shown in the below picture. The navigation of the form is Retail/Inventory Management /Bar Codes And Labels/Bar Code Setup

3. Create Product And Link Barcode Setup

Create a new product or you can use an existing one also. In the sell, tab enters price 0 and also link the barcode setup which we have created in step 2 in retail tab as shown in the below picture. The navigation of the form is Retail/Product And Categories/Released Products By Category

3. Create Barcode

Create a barcode for the item as shown in the below picture. The navigation of the form is Retail/Inventory Management /Bar Codes And Labels/Bar Codes

We have created 2 barcodes for the same item with different price and qty.The first barcode (200001234521) where 2 is  a prefix, 00001 is 5 digits of product, 2345 is price with 2 digits decimal precision i.e. price of 1 qty is 23.45, 2 is the qty of the item and 1 is the check digit. Similarly, the second barcode (200001465441) where 2 is a prefix, 00001 is 5 digits of product, 4654 is price with 2 digits decimal precision i.e. price of 1 qty is 46.54, 4 is the qty of the item and 1 is the check digit.

4. Sync Data

Now, the next step is to sync data to POS DB. Go to Distribution schedule and run job 1040 (Products).The navigation of the form is Retail/Retail IT /Distribution Schedule

5. Scanning Barcode On MPOS 

Now, the next step is to check what happens when you scan these barcodes on MPOS. So, log in to MPOS and scan 1^st barcode (200001234521). After scanning the barcode the product 00001 is added to the transaction with 2 qty and price of 1 qty is 23.45. So, the system is fetching price and qty from the barcode itself as the price on the sell tab is 0.

Similarly, if you scan the 2^nd barcode (200001465441 the product 00001 is added to the transaction with 4 qty and price of 1 qty is 46.54.
