This document provides online help to use GS1 Hungary’s BarcodeManager.
This help provides information about typical usage of BarcodeManager and it is based on basic knowledge of GS1 identifiers and standards.
BarcodeManager provides solution to create, store and share your GS1 standardized identification numbers and other data that belong to the identified units (product, document, transportation unit, physical location etc.)
You can allocate barcodes and labels based on identification numbers according to GS1 rules and business partners’ needs.
The main parts of help are as follows:
Overview of BarcodeManager
Detailed and illustrated description of BarcodeManager usage (operations, settings, requesting company prefix, uploading ID key database, handling GS1 identifiers, printing labels etc.)
Appendix including additional information about BarcodeManager service packages, label printing, entity takeover. Here you find an abbreviation list and dictionary as well.
The active company prefix(es) and GTIN-8 Identifiers registered earlier at GS1 Hungary are already uploaded to BarcodeManager. Before you allocate new identification number(s) with the help of Standard Manager, please enter all identifiers into the system that you are already using. Please note, that those items’ identifiers (GTINs) that are no longer in circulation also need to be entered but according to the GTIN allocation rules, that identifier cannot be used for a new item. For BarcodeManager, this is the only way to ensure that an identifier is being allocated only once as the identification number is continuously being generated from the provided company prefix. The GTIN-8 identifiers are in ‘Draft’ status when being migrated from GS1 Hungary register into BarcodeManager. These should be finalised in the system by the user.
If you are already using GS1 Key generating and registry client software, please note that no support is provided by GS1 Hungary after 30 June, 2019. You can migrate the already entered identifiers and data into BarcodeManager by copying the database of the GS1 Hungary Key generating and registry client software and upload it on BarcodeManager’s Helpdesk site (this page can be accessed after logging in). The colleagues at BarcodeManager Helpdesk will provide you on this page with an uploadable file in the appropriate format. Please also note that afterwards you can no longer use GS1 Key generating and registry client software, please use BarcodeManager to manage your identifiers and other data.
