Add bar code to stock item

You can use product bar codes as alternative identifiers for stock items to be able to use a scanner to, for example, add the item to a purchase receipt.

You can enter bar codes for items manually or by scanning them. The scanner converts the scanned bar code to an alphanumeric string that is immediately visible in the appropriate box as if it had been typed.

  1. Go to the Stock items (IN202500) window.

  2. Go to the Cross-reference tab.

  3. Click to add a new line.
  4. Select Barcode in the Alt. item ID type column.
  5. Enter the bar code in the Alt. item ID column, either manually or by using a scanner.
