 scan.csv (truncated article database)

(c) CSV parser (optional)
Important note: The CSV parser field can best be left empty if no post processing is
necessary on the provided CSV-files!
Executable of the middleware application that parses a new product databases into a combined
database file (dbase.csv). When a bar code terminal is used, it can also generate a truncated
article database (scan.csv) that is sent to the barcode terminal to allow linking of products to
ESLs.
By default the CSV-parser expects the following field sequence in the CSV-files:
<Modification code>;<Unique ID>;<Barcode>;<Description>;<Group>;<From price>;<Sell
price>;<Discount %>;...;etc.
If the field sequence of the supplied database is different, then this can be changed by altering the
following field numbers.
Important notes:

The first field is field number '0', the second is '1', etc!

The default CSV-parser uses the field 0 to detect whether it's a complete or modification
database file, so please don't remove this field.
Unique Id field: Field number of the unique product ID in the CSV-record. Even though the
product ID must be unique, it is allowed to have multiple records with the same ID in your
database with different barcodes.
Barcode field: Field number of the product barcode in the CSV-record. If the barcode field is the
same as the Unique Id field or when the barcode field isn't unique or present, use the Unique Id
field number for both configurations!
Description field: Field number of the product description in a CSV-record.
(The description is shown by the barcode terminal when a link is created, so the user can verify
the correct product was linked).
Group field: Field number of the product group in a CSV-record. If no group field is present in the
CSV-record, set the field number to '0'.
From price field: Field number that holds the 'from price' from the article. If no 'from price' is
present in the CSV-record set it to the 'sell price field'
