Barcode validation settings

What each setting under Instellingen → Barcode validatie in scan.afosto.app does: regex rules for EAN codes, order numbers, positions and pick walls.

Under Instellingen → Barcode validatie (Settings → Barcode validation) you decide which scanned codes the app accepts as valid. These settings belong to the scan app at scan.afosto.app. Below you can read what each setting does in practice.

How it works

The app uses these rules (regular expressions) to decide whether a scanned code is valid. More important: the app also uses them to recognize what kind of code you scan. To allow everything, use .*.

That last part matters more than it seems. If you scan a position label while the app expects a product, the app uses these rules to recognize what you scanned and responds to it.

EAN regex

EAN regex. Here you set the pattern a product barcode must match.

  • Too strict: the app rejects valid products.
  • Too loose: the app reads a position label as a product.

Order number regex

Order nummer regex. Here you set the pattern an order number must match, for example ODR-[0-9]. This lets the app recognize that you scan an order and not a product.

Position regex

Positie regex. Here you set the pattern a position label must match, for example [A-Z]-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]. The app uses this rule when you put away and move stock.

Pick wall regex

Pick wall regex. Here you set the pattern a pick wall label must match, for example PICKWALL-[0-9]{1,3}.
