Using UPCs in Point of Sale
ÂSome merchandise comes from the vendor pre-tagged with
UPC (Universal Product Code) bar codes. If you record those UPCs in inventory,
you can scan the UPC bar codes to list the items on documents.The UPC field
on an item record can be used to record UPC-E, UPC-A, EAN, or similar
identifiers up to 18 digits. Point of Sale will convert UPC formats of
less than 13 digits (such as UPC-A and UPC-E) to a 13-digit form using
a standard conversion algorithm.Every UPC # recorded must be unique and contain only
numbers. UPCs can be entered on an item�s record by any of the three methods
described below.Important NoteBy default,
bar codes created
in Point of Sale are based on the item numbers, not the UPC. Do
not scan a Point of Sale-created item number bar code into the item UPC
field. Likewise, if a vendor provides alphanumeric bar codes that are
not true UPC codes, do not enter those codes into the UPC field. UPC codes
have a required format, and other code formats are not accepted. Consider
using the Alternate
Lookup field for these codes instead.
You can use the Print Designer to customize your tags to print the UPC bar
code if you prefer.To record UPCs in inventory:UPC #s can be efficiently and accurately entered by
scanning in the UPC bar code on the manufacturer's label. Position the
cursor in the UPC field on the
item record and scan the tag.Refer to the selections below in making manual UPC
entries.Â
When an item with a defined UPC is listed
on a receipt, voucher, memo, or slip, the UPC is recorded on the document.
Thus, merchandise can be filtered by UPC when running history reports
even if the item has been deleted from inventory.
