    GTIN barcodes can be scanned throughout the system in any RF item input field prompt, in lieu of manually typing in the information. 

    Any information contained within the barcode including the item number, lot etc. will preload accordingly as well.  GTIN codes must be associated first, with their respective item number in order to use the GTIN barcodes for scanning.
