Monitoring added products - en
Introduction
Products with no data
Quite often one sees products where no data at all has been entered, all fields are empty and there are no images. These products are mostly created by third party apps. They are due to a quirk in the api-calls. Whenever an api interrogates the database with a barcode number and the barcode is not present, the corresponding product is created.
We have no way to ascertain whether these empty products do really exist, or are even food products. Sometimes non-product barcodes can be seen, i.e. barcode lengths other than 8,12 or 13 numbers.
Having these empty products in the database has no value and thus they can be deleted. A user can always add them later again.
