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.

Product information is shown including Image, name, price and its availability in each warehouse 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. Magento Barcode Management Version 1.0 5

7 - 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.
