How to handle location barcodes scanning with check digits in WMS?

Summary:

Customer has storage location barcodes across the warehouse that come with a mix of labels with and without check digits.

This is causing issues when we scan location barcodes in putaway/picking operations in WMS as the location is not recognized.

Check Digit Examples:

.1037AL# vs WMS barcode format defined 1037AL (10 for the aisle, 37 for the bay, A for the level and L for the position)

.1039BLZ vs WMS barcode format defined 1039BL

However, other locations do not have check dights in their barcodes and scan as expected.

1039AR

0935EL

We looked into the Multi-Field barcode functionality to see if we could define a class that would accept these variations of check digits, but it does not seem to be the right option to do so.

Howdy, Stranger!
