Item Barcode Label Report

The Item Barcode Label report is similar to the Barcode report. Just like that one, it doesn’t have column headers or anything like that. All it has on it are barcodes for your items in purchase orders. When you first open this report, it will be blank because you need to select a purchase order to display barcodes for the items in it.

Once you do that and click the GENERATE REPORT button, you will see that each barcode has an item name under it. This isn’t limited by the type of item. Inventory, Non Inventory, Shipping, Bundle, Service, Labor, and Overhead items will all receive barcodes. However, miscellaneous items won’t have a barcode.

Optional

On the right of the report, you will find several Optional features to customize the barcodes that are displayed:

• Purchase Order - A dropdown menu to select a purchase order to generate barcodes for the item(s) in it.
• Item - A dropdown menu to narrow down the report to a barcode for the selected item. By default, you will see barcodes for all items in a purchase order, but this lets you focus in on just one item, excluding all others. You can create a new item by entering a name for the item in the textbox and hitting Enter or clicking the + Add option. Then fill out the New Item wizard that pops up.
• Count - A textbox to enter the number of copies of each barcode to include in the report. By default, the number of copies will be 1, but you can enter 2, 3, etc. to multiply the barcode count by that number.
• Produced From Type - A dropdown menu to limit the barcodes displayed by their source. There are three fields from the General tab of the Items module you can choose from to determine which barcodes are included in the report:
  • Name - The name of each item. This is the default field used for this report. Since all items have a name, they will all be included.
  • Barcode/UPC - The universal product code for each item. This field isn’t required, so not every item might have one.
  • SKU - The stock-keeping unit number for each item. This field isn’t required, so not every item might have one.
• Format Report For Exporting - A checkbox that is supposed to remove the page breaks and display the report on one long page for exporting to PDF and CSV formats. It isn’t working currently, but hopefully it will in the future.
• Show Description - A checkbox that adds each item’s description under its name on the report. If there is no description in the Items module, nothing will appear.
• Show Price - A checkbox that adds each item’s price above its barcode on the report.
• Show UPC - A checkbox that adds each item’s numerical universal product code under its barcode on the report. Of course, this only applies to items that have a UPC in the Items module.

To select all of the status fields at once, click the Select All Optional checkbox. The Select All Optional checkbox won’t affect any of the dropdown menus or textboxes under the Optional header. Those will have to be updated manually. To search for an option in a dropdown menu, click in that field and begin entering text. It will show all options that have that text in them.

To apply your changes and see what they look like in the report, click the GENERATE REPORT button on the bottom-right. And follow the directions at the top of the main Reports article to save your changes to a Preset.
