Alternate Barcodes

The Alternate Item Barcodes screen sets up alternate barcodes for SKUs in the warehouse. This screen enables the ability to configure multiple barcodes for the same Item Code.

The sequence in which item barcodes are looked up is as follows:

If ITEM_BARCODE_SKIP_ALT_CODE_CHECK is set to yes:

  • The system finds items by matching the scanned barcode with the barcode on the Item.
If ITEM_BARCODE_SKIP_ALT_CODE_CHECK is set to no:
  • The system finds items by matching the scanned barcode with the barcode on the Item OR the Item Alternate Code on the Item. If more than ONE record is found (for example, one record matches on barcode and another on item_barcode), the system will randomly pick one, usually the first created.

If Item has not been resolved via item.barcode or item.item_alternate_code, the system will search for an item in the “Item Barcode” entity with a matching barcode.
