{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**

This user guide refers to PreBilt transactions beginning '*PB2\_*' and details the standard process without additional features or enhancements. You should [copy these transactions](/prebilt-for-im-wm-strm/configuration-guide/transaction-codes.md#create-a-transaction) with a different prefix to maintain a backup and protect the originals.
{% endhint %}

This section covers transaction *PB2\_BARCODE\_DECODER*.
