Barcode Generating and Printing

Barcodes make it easier for warehouse staff to track items, including their expiration dates, serial numbers, and batch numbers. Here’s a quick guide to setting up and printing barcodes for your inventory.

Enable Barcode Generation

  1. Go to Settings (gear icon) > Inventory > Barcode Generation.
  2. On the Barcode Settings page, toggle on Enable Barcodes.

Select Barcode Type

In the barcode settings page, Toggle on Enable Barcodes

  • Choose the type of code you want to generate:
  • QR Code – Ideal for storing more information.
  • Barcode – Can hold limited information, suitable for names, SKUs, or serial numbers.

Note: You can only select one type at a time.

Configure the Barcode Data

  1. Select how you want to generate the code:
    • For QR Codes: Add multiple fields.
    • For Barcodes: We recommend using Name, SKU, Serial, or all three, as barcodes have limited data capacity.

Choose the variables you’d like to include, such as:

  • Name, SKU, Vendor, Serial Number (S/N), Manufacturer, Model, Bin #, Isle #.

After selecting variables, click Save to apply your settings.

To Print Labels, go to the Inventory list.

From the Inventory List, notice that the Inventory Item we selected got a checked marked under the Bar/QR Code Column.

If an inventory item has no multiple serial numbers, we will show one code generated at the bottom. 

If an item has multiple serial numbers, we put an icon next to each serial for preview.
