Abstract: A method of receiving identification information identifying a physical object is described. The method includes receiving identification information from an identification capture system that obtains the identification information from an identification component associated with a physical object. The identification information identifies the physical object to which the identification component has been associated. The identification information is encoded in a format compatible with an input device for the identification capture system. The method also includes determining a software object predefined by a process flow to receive the identifier information. The software object has at least one field to store the identifier information. The method also includes identifying a format used for the at least one software object field, and converting the format compatible with the input device of the identification capture system into the format of the at least one software object field.
