We should be able to map multiple AI codes to the same internal field and assign a priority to determine which AI code's value is used, in the case they both exist in the GS1 barcode.


Currently, in the "Barcode data policy" setup form, only a single GS1 AI code can be mapped to an internal field.


Vendors may use different AI fields to transmit their data. In the example of bulk receiving, vendors will typically only transmit the weight. There are many AI codes that could be transmitted that need to be mapped to the same internal "Quantity" field.

eg. (30), (310n), (315n), (320n), (357n), (360n), (361n)


There is no way to accommodate for this in the current GS1 mapping setup, other than creating a barcode data policy and a separate menu item for each unique combination. The user would need to determine which menu item to use depending on which AI codes were sent in the barcode and open the specific menu item that will allow the GS1 to be successfully scanned and mapped, which is far from an ideal workaround.

Requiring the user to know which AI a supplier is utilizing in their GS1 before selecting the correct menu item and thus barcode policy is prone to failure and confusion/frustration. This enhancement idea would alleviate a significant paint point for us.

This would be huge for our business!
