Shortcut from purchases
The purchase list and the product list both have a Labels action, which opens this screen with those products and quantities already added, ready for a fresh delivery.
Limits
Labels print from the web back office through your browser's print dialog, so use a computer connected to the label printer. The barcode uses each product's SKU and Barcode Type; an SKU that doesn't fit the type shows Unsupported SKU id for the selected barcode type.
Frequently asked questions
How do I print barcode labels for new stock?
Open Purchases › List Purchases and choose Labels on the purchase. Print Labels opens with each product and its received quantity filled in. Choose the information and Barcode setting, click Preview, then Print.
Which barcode type should I use?
Code 128 suits most shops because it takes letters and numbers of any length. Use EAN-13 or UPC-A only when the SKU is a valid 13 or 12 digit code, such as one already printed by the manufacturer.
