Defining barcode types

A bar code type is associated to a data field for validation and translation purposes. For example, a bar code type of Location is defined for locations.

A bar code type has translation defined to data sources. These translations act as a validation for the data scanned or entered into the field.

For example, entry of 1-PR-A1-B1-L1 into the location field in a console or a RF, causes the translation and validations of data sources against the associated bar code type of Location. It results in the user being allowed to continue with the activity being performed or being informed of an invalid data entry.
