We're working with an outside vendor to help manage access into our parking garage.
The vendor needs the barcode number from the parking tickets in order to upload in their system for scanning / entry. I though this would be easy - until I realized that the Pre-Paid parking tickets we've generated have an NScan barcode and the only report I'm able to find gives me the ticket number.
Help?
First thing that comes to mind would be to batch ticket print to file. The file will contain the number at a which you can use to generate a barcode (128). This may be the only way (I think... someone else can correct me if I am wrong). I will keep thinking about it.

Hi Kim - Were you ever able to export the NScan barcode number or pull it from SQL? I can get it in SSMS, but when I paste the data into Excel, the number changes from the actual NScan number I see in SSMS to a version that doesn't include all the needed data. Thanks!
Hi Sara (and others),
You can export N-Scan data with the Order Export utility (Ticketing Processing folder) when it's run in "Individual seats" output mode. When you save the report to Excel, there is a column called barcode_data which contains the N-Scan number.

Hello all,We too are looking at having parking passes that would scan and be validated by the 3rd party parking hardware/software.With the N-Scan Data export are you able to automate the run/export and have it to save to a specific file path/email or is it accessible via an API where the parking software could point?Thanks!
Cheers,Stefan
Hi Stefan! Yes, this is available in the API using Web/Cart/{sessionKey}/Print/TicketElements or TXN/Orders/{orderId}/PrintTicketElements
Each TicketElement object in the response will have a val property. The TicketElement for the N-Scan number will have a val containing the N-Scan number.
Hope that helps!
