Creating Barcodes
SOS Inventory supports these barcode formats: Code 39, UPC, ISBN, or QR Code. You may barcode lot numbers, SKU numbers, etc., choosing how you would like to format them to indicate additional information.
Prior to printing your barcodes labels, you must first set up a template in your SOS Inventory account. You may select a predefined template or customize your own to print to the size needed. You may select a lot type or serial type form to suit your tracking needs. Labels can also be printed directly from transactions, such as receipts. SOS Inventory will generate a downloadable pdf of your labels to send to your printer.
To enter barcodes, click to edit an item from your list of items, and place the cursor in the barcode field. Once you scan the barcode, this field will populate. (You may also enter the barcode manually). Any item in your inventory may be associated with a barcode.
