Barcodes

Adding Barcodes

A barcode can be assigned to one or more products. There is no requirement that a barcode only references a single product, although this is optional and can be disabled so that barcode only reference a single product.

Tip. When entering barcodes we strongly suggest using a barcode scanner, even in head office. The visible barcode may not be exactly the same as what scanners actually scan and send. Some barcode types (symbologies) do not always show the check digit on the human readable version

Edit the Product

When editing a single product the barcodes associated are listed. Click the add barcode and enter the values.

From Manage Barcodes

When using the barcode managment page, which lets you review all barcodes, there is an option to add new barcodes

If barcode discovery is enabled, when an unknown barcode is scanned the POS prompts the teller asking if they wish to link this barcode to a product now. This linking may replicate globally depending on system configuration.

Via Excel Product Load

When loading products via excel simply create a column called "barcode" and enter the codes.
