Totals Controller

Identifies the real totals for picked items with EAN-13 and code128 barcodes.

:new: Calculating Totals with manualTotalQuantity

In scenarios where manualTotalQuantity is provided for a Picked Item, this value will be considered as the new totalQuantity. Additionally, the quantityPerEan will be recalculated based on the specified manualTotalQuantity. See the example below for clarification.

{
  "eanCount": 2,
  "quantityPerEan": 25,
  "totalQuantity": 50,
  "manualTotalQuantity": 50
}

:new: Calculating quantityPerEan and totalQuantity when the Picked Item has no Product Groups or its config is for Unitary items

Now when the Picked Item has no Product Groups or its config is for unitary items, the totalQuantity and quantityPerEan will be calculated using the Picked Item's sellingUnitMultiplier (if available). See examples below.

• Totals.calculate(pickedItem): Process the item and returns the totals according to the Barcode, Product Groups or BarcodeTypes and Measurement Units.
  • Params:
    • pickedItem: [Object]
    • Response: Object

:information_source: Picked item's Product Groups will only work for EAN barcodes, for code128 use Picked item's Barcode Types, EANs also work with Barcode Types that are type 'ean13'.

Response

The response will have the next fields:

• eanCount: Total numbers of units per Barcode/Ean
• pricePerUnit: Price per unit per Barcode (only when barcode with price and quantity variables is present)
• quantityPerEan: Quantity per Barcode/Ean
• totalQuantity: Total Quantity
• error: The error message (only if cannot process the item)

Available variable types

• expirationDate: (only for code128) Item's expiration date
• batch: (only for code128) Item's batch
• price: Item's price
• quantity: Item's quantity
• none: No behavior

:warning: Any other type not listed here will be considered unknown and cannot be processed.

Example

const { Totals } = require('@janiscommerce/picking-helpers');

WeighableEanGenerator

Class to generate a weighable ean from item data and item productGroups.

This class replaces the generateWeighableEan function, removed in version 1.3.0.

The usage is changed, the eanRules are replaced with the item productGroups directly and the quantity becomes inside itemData.

Before

const { generateWeighableEan } = require('@janiscommerce/picking-helpers');

const quantity = 1;

const eanRules = {
    skuIdentifierLength: 7,
    eanVariableType: 'quantity',
    eanMeasurementUnit: 'gr'
};

generateWeighableEan(quantity, eanRules, itemData);

After

const { WeighableEanGenerator } = require('@janiscommerce/picking-helpers');

const itemData = {
    quantity: 1,
    measurementUnit: 'kg',
    ean: '1234567000001',
    sellingUnitMultiplier: 0.5
};

const productGroups = [{
    behaviors: {
        skuIdentifierLength: 7,
        eanVariableType: 'quantity',
        eanMeasurementUnit: 'gr'
    }
}];

WeighableEanGenerator.generate(itemData, productGroups);
