In Migros Valais there are many customer orders to handle for the meat and convenience department. Several smaller stores dont have the full collection of articles, or no freshproducts at all. Still customers shall be able to place special orders for such articles.

The store sends the customer order by fax to the center in martigny, where it is entered into BPS by the single-order entry program. For customer orders there may be a special trip as in the example below (“Commandes de clients”) which helps separate these orders in several BPS programs from the normal orders. (Technically it is not really necessary to place these orders in a separate trip):

The part which is essential in entering the order ist however inputting an oderer ID (“Mme. Couchepin” in this sample). If an order id is present, that will control that the delivery receipt is printed, and that is will have EAN barcodes if possible:

The printout with barcodes is by a special print program (GmvsVtPrint.css) created für Migros Valais. The EAN barcode will be printed under the following conditions:

• There must be a main EAN present in the collection-article record.
• In case of EAN13 starting with 21, 22 or 24 the price will be encoded within the barcode, however if the price is bigger that 999.99 there is not enough capacity and the barcode will not be printed.
• In case of EAN13 starting with 28 or 29 the weight will be encoded within the barcode, however if the weight is larger than 99.999 kg there is not enough capacity and the barcode will not be printed.
