I was really pleased that Network decided to issue a warning to its clients today that the barcode on next week’s issue of Woman’s Day #29 (On sale 9th July) will not scan properly.
On investigation is appears the actual barcode is correct, but the issue extension will not scan.
What will happen with our software is:
1) When scanning at the cash register this will not be an issue as our system will default to the most recently received issue if there is no extension.
2) When scanning returns, the Newsagent will be asked to select the correct issue. Normally, this would not happen as the extension would provide this information.
Note: I would like to thank Network Services in both testing and identifying the problem and then notifying everyone in advance.
