Embedding Price vs Weight in the barcode of catch weight items
For barcode of catch weight items (VPLU), I would like to hear thoughts on whether the standard practice with retailers is to1. Embed price in the barcode OR
2. Embed weight in the barcode
Am trying to understand the standard practice across retailers for handling catch weight items and which option (1, or 2 as written above) is recommended.
In the APAC region where we are implementing RMS-SIM, client is expecting weight to be embedded. Since ORSIM provide support for reading price embedded barcodes, would like to know from RMS experts in this forum what is the recommended practice.
The challenge that we are facing is that price changes could be frequent, so embedding price in the barcode needs frequent re-tagging of items.
