App Scan Code 128 C Barcode (China EDMC Code)

[maherpa2]

PL user story: #93 (see full overview for additional information)

Description: Changes to the App and decoding in order to be able to scan a Code 128 bar code:

• The ability to scan and decode a Code 128C 1D Code that has the China EDMC encoded. This is a 20 digits long code that only contains numeric digits.

• EDMC = Electronic Drug Monitoring Code

• The rules for decoding and finding the Anchor could be: Take the first 7 digits of the code in order to find the Anchor. The first 7 digits are the Product Code which identifies the company.

• Some sample codes:

• 

• 

Acceptance criteria's: positive tests

• Create a serialized Batch.
• Encode the EDMC number in the Code 128 C code
• Scan the 128 C barcode in order to find the anchor and display the ePI.

negative tests / error path testing

• Create a serialized Batch.
• Encode an incorrect EDMC number in the Code 128 C code (incorrect = unknown Product Code)
• Scan the 128 C barcode and a message should be displayed to the patent.

Process scenario:

• N/A

Additional information: For serialization China is using the Code 128 C barcode and the 20 digit EDMC code is encoded. The ability to decode this and provide an ePI and all the Anti counterfeit checks will be of additional value. This also implies an update on the DSU Fabric in order to be able to manage this code as it is not GTIN based (refer to #124).

Current open-source solution ZXing (https://github.com/zxing/zxing) is capable of scanning this code.

Scanned with Scandit -- able to scan but unable to detect GTIN as there is no GS1 separator
