More Information
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.
Select " Stock Control Add or Edit Stock Items".
- This will take you to a search screen. Type either the stock code of the item required (e.g. 'NGK1234') or the description (e.g. NGK Spark plug).
- Click twice on the item for which you want to add a Supplier Barcode.
- Press <F3> to take you to the "Barcodes" Screen.
- From here, simply scan the item's Barcode label using a barcode scanner and this will fill the field with the correct information for you. Should you not have a barcode scanner attached to the machine, you can type in the barcode numbers manually. Should you not have a barcode scanner at all, please contact the Sales Department!
