Open Prices: Collection of Unobvious Cases when Validating Prices

[Libra]

I suggest to use this thread for publishing and collecting unobvious cases of validating prices process, when by first look you can want to skip or reject them, while it is possible to verify and approve them. I’ll start:

There is a barcode, but there is no price. There is a system warning even that says about the same problem. But the devil is in the details.

In a fact, there is enough data here to get the original price, because we have weight and price per kg, so we can calculate the original price, maybe with some really small inaccuracy, but close enough.

Weight: 140g
Price per kg: 23,57 Euro

So, open our calculator and use it for next calculations:

• 23,57 / 1000 = 0,02357 (price per gram)
• 0,02357 * 140 = 3,2998 (price per 140g)
• 3,2998 ~ 3,3

Let’s verify it:

Both numbers are same, so there is no any mistake here.

Original price and proof:

• Price
• Proof

Indeed, I sometimes do the same thing
Probably 1 in 100 prices validated I’d say.

Actually it only works if the product has a valid “quantity” ^^

Another tip is for “wrongly detected barcodes” because the image is a bit blurry.

Since a few months the backend tries to find similar barcodes. And we display them in the product selection (after clicking on )
