Linking a Supplier Barcode to a Stock Item
From Catalyst
Summary
The following article explains how link a supplier barcode to a stock code. This is useful if your items come pre-labelled with a barcode, and you do not want to put your own label on it. If you print labels from Platinum, it is possible to print a barcode on the label that is created automatically from the part number that you have used, and therefore it is not necessary to link a supplier's barcode to the item unless you do not print labels for the items that you receive into stock.
