Get Stock ID Script (R-GETID.MAC)

The script file must be located in your CAPITAL program directory and must have the file name R-GETID.MAC.

This hook script can be used to tell the Warehouse Manager what the stock ID of a stock item is, based on its bar/scan code. The stock item's Stock ID is a unique 7 digit code automatically assigned to every product in the CAPITAL Stock Control system. This is useful when you need to translate a complex bar/scan code, which may not correspond directly to any field within the CAPITAL Stock Control system, without additional formatting.

Entry Values

Return Values

The script must return the stock ID of a stock item. Return an empty string ("") if the item's Stock ID could not be found. This will cause a "not found" warning message to be displayed in the Warehouse Manager.

Example

* Locate the stock item based on the item's bar/scan code

* Only digits 3-13 make up the bar/scan code

mBarCode := Substr(mBarCode, 4, 10)

Stock->(Find(mBarCode))

Return StockID()
