1. Introduction

Barcode by definition is the small image of lines (bars) and spaces that is affixed to retail

store items, identification cards, and postal mail to identify a particular product number,

person, or location. The code uses a sequence of vertical bars and spaces to represent

numbers and other symbols. Barcode is a reliable method for cutting costs and saving

time for business.

2. How it works

2.1. Barcode listing

Barcode listing is a view to display all barcodes of all products saved in Inventory

Management. It contains Barcode, SKU, Supplier and Purchased Time.

From this screen, admin can instantly take actions like importing or generating barcode

with 5 buttons on the top right.

Admin can also view details of each product and barcode.


From barcode detailed page, admin can configure barcode printing and print barcode

directly. Product information is shown including Image, name, price and its availability in

each warehouse.

2.2. Generate barcode

Inventory Management gives you 2 modes to generate barcode:

- One barcode per product SKU

- Multiple barcodes per product SKU

This can be configured in Barcode Settings.


- If you set “One barcode per product SKU” as “Yes”, then the system will allow you

to generate only one barcode for one product SKU.

Now to generate barcode, you go to Generate Barcodes tab. From here you can select

the product that you want to generate barcode, fill in the Supplier (optional) then generate.

- If you set “One barcode per product SKU” as “No”, then it opens up 2 options to

generate barcode when you go to Generate Barcodes tab.

These 2 options are: Generate barcode per item or Generate barcode per purchase.

“Generate barcode per item” means each item will have its own identified barcode

although they have the same SKU.

“Generate barcode per purchase” means items will be identified by the time it is

purchased. Although you take 10 items with same SKU in one time purchasing from

supplier, these 10 items will have the same barcode. But in another time of purchase, they

will have different barcode.


After selecting the option you want to proceed with, you can continue selecting product, fill

the product Qty., supplier and purchased time (optional) then generate. Admin can

configure the barcode pattern to generate. Barcodes generated will be saved in Barcode

listing page & Barcode created history.

Admin can configure the barcode pattern to generate. Barcodes generated will be saved

in Barcode listing page & Barcode creating history.

2.3. Import barcode

When you generate barcodes in mass, you will not need to use Generate barcode feature.

Instead, you can import barcode directly into the system using the Import barcode

feature of Inventory Management.

The system provides a sample import file including SKU, Barcode, Qty. and Supplier &

Purchase time (optional).


After preparing the file as in the sample file, now you can upload the file, fill the reason

and start to import.

2.4. Barcode label template

You can create your own barcode template by adding new template. There are also 3

most used templates as default templates in the extension: A4, Jewelry and Standard for

you to select.

You can configure paper width and height, label width and height, font size…and preview

the template before saving.


2.5. Print barcode

In Barcode configuration, admin can select the barcode template from the templates

created before to print.

Admin can select multiple barcodes to print at once. Or click to View under Action column

to print one barcode multiple times.

2.6. Scan barcode

In Inventory Management extension, you need to use a Barcode scanner which is able to

connect with your computer. Then you can scan to read product information or update

stock Qty. when doing Stock taking (Stock taking is a feature available in Inventory

Management extension) or managing purchase orders (Magestore Barcode management

extension is totally compatible with Magestore Inventory Management & Purchase

Management extension.)

- When going to Scan Barcode, you can read barcode information and product

information.


- In Stock-taking, there are 5 steps: 1- General information, 2-Prepare products, 3-Stock

counting, 4-Complete data entry, 5-Complete Stocktaking. You can scan barcode to

choose products in step 2-Prepare products and count stock quantity in step 3-Stock

counting. (For more details of Physical Stock taking, please refer to Inventory

Management user guide.)
