How can we enable handling multiple barcode formats in WMS?

Summary:

We have items with multiple types of barcodes. For example, some barcodes include GTIN-BATCH-EXPIRYDATE-SERIALNUMBER-QUANTITY-MANUFACUREDATE, while others only contain ITEM-BATCH information, or just the ITEM information.

We have defined a multifield barcode class as shown below.

However, when we try to scan a barcode that only contains ITEM-BATCH information, we get an error “multifield barcode partially accepted” and are unable to scan it.

Our customer wants the system to be able to scan barcodes that contain only ITEM-BATCH information, and then manually enter the expiry date. Similarly, for items that do not require batch or serial number tracking, they want to be able to scan just the item code. Their current system supports this kind of flexible barcode structure.
