Let's not mix barcode and channel issues. The retail locations have no barcode, they have a company that owns them and companies they work with and a classification within the chain hierarchy (sometimes) which identifies the service / product range of a particular location and naturally an address. --Juxo 18:35, 28 Aug 2004 (EEST)
- If they really are separate, absolutely right. However they are not quite separate: Sometimes big purchasers apply their own barcodes or different packaging has different barcodes. If this is *VERY* uncommon then we can avoid mixing them, as you say. If it is even going on 5% of the time they we have to think of the barcode as the product of channel and product information at once.
- Also things like fruit and vegetables and bulk items have no packaging but instead they have stickers with numbers that vary per channel but probably not per location...
- This is a question some researcher should be able to resolve.
- By the way it is good to get past various power structure issues and get back to real work...
