Bar Codes

The Bar Coding and Item Labels feature automatically generates a bar code for each item based on the Item Name/Number, or Stock Keeping Unit (SKU), on the item record. Item bar codes are generated based on the contents of the Item Name/Number field in an item record. Most bar codes use a number or alphanumeric string for this field. Bar codes are also generated for each transaction, as well as serial numbers if you use them. JCurve's bar code integration works with any bar code scanner that functions as a keyboard input device. The scanner translates the bar code into text, just as if you typed it on the keyboard.
You can input and track information in JCurve by generating bar codes for each item and transaction. For example, you can:
- Print labels to affix to the items that show the item price, and bar codes for item number and serial number.
- Scan bar code labeled items to add them to a sales transaction or receive them on a purchase transaction.
- Scan transaction bar codes to bulk receive, fulfill, pick, pack, ship, bill or approve orders.
