What happens if I install both Barcode Parsers?

Call Type: Support Call

Call Reported On: 01/02/03

Products supported: Variable Price Barcode Parser/ Weight Embedded Barcode Parser

 

Problem Statement:

Merchant: We are using your app, the Variable Price Barcode Parser, I have a clover system. I downloaded the Weight Embedded Barcode Parser and the Variable Price one. For some reason, it’s not working on one of my Clover registers so I think I did something wrong.
Here is the scenario I am working with: both of CSI Works’ barcode parsers are installed

Troubleshooting:

CSI Works support: Send us a picture of your label.

Solution:

 

CSI Works support: This is a price embedded barcode (the price of the item is within the numbers of the barcode, the first 4 of the last 5 digits, “0620”.), so you need to use the Variable Price Barcode Parser. You need to uninstall the weight-embedded barcode parser:

More Tools App > Weight-embedded Barcode Parser > uninstall

Merchant: I already have the Variable Price Barcode Parser.

CSI Works support: Now open the app. What does it say about configuration?

Merchant: It says “Configuration is not complete. App is not ready for use.” It says to press these buttons:

close the app. Go to the Settings app > accessibility > Variable Price Barcode Parser > flip the switch to give it the permissions it needs to function.

CSI Works support: now close the settings and open the Inventory app. Tell me about your chicken salad item:

Inventory app > edit the item > this person has:

Chicken Salad

  • per-unit pricing

    • unit of measure is lb

    • price rate is $8.99 

  • product code is 200097

Merchant: When I scan the barcode now, it comes up with the price of $106.20 (an extra $100 more than what’s on the label)

CSI Works support: The Barcode Parser App is reading an extra leading digit in the barcode, so you need to change it's settings:

> Open Variable Price Barcode Parser app > top-right corner there’s a settings icon, go there. > chose the barcode $99.99 format

Merchant: Back at the reister app, I scan again. It's working perfectly!
