UPC

Purpose: Use the UPC screen to review or work with existing UPC barcodes for a product, or create a new one.

What is a UPC barcode? A UPC barcode is an identification of a product by either a UPC-A or EAN-13 code.

Created how? You can create UPC barcodes for products when you download or export items or products from an external system, such as Order Management System or Xstore. See Importing Items/Products, Inventory, Barcodes, Images, and Locations into the Database for an overview, and see Importing UPC Barcodes through File Storage API for information specific to the barcode import.

Used how? You can use UPC barcodes in Store Connect to scan picked items on orders. See the Store Connect Preferences screen for more information.

Product relationships: See Product, System Product and Product Location for an overview of the relationships among Order Broker elements, including UPC barcodes.

How to display this screen: Click the UPC barcode icon (Illustrates the UPC barcode icon.) next to a product at the Products screen.

Note:

  • Only users with Products authority can display this screen. See the Role Wizard for more information.
  • If the UPC screen was already open in another tab when you clicked the UPC barcode icon, you advance to this screen with the UPC barcodes for the previously-selected product displayed.

Option Procedure
create a UPC barcode

Note: Normally, you should not create UPC barcodes using this method. By creating a UPC barcodes in Order Broker directly rather than using the process described under Importing Items/Products, Inventory, Barcodes, Images, and Locations into the Database, you run the risk that UPC barcode information will be inconsistent with that in the external system, such as Order Management System or Xstore.

  1. Enter a UPC barcode in the UPC field.
  2. Select a barcode type from the UPC Type drop-down box.
  3. Click New. If:
    • the UPC barcode has already been assigned to any product in your organization, Order Broker displays an error message.
    • your entries were valid, the new UPC barcode is added to the UPC screen.

Note: To reassign a barcode to a different product through the screens, you need to first delete the existing barcode record and then create the new barcode record for the other product. However, you can reassign a product barcode through the import process; see Importing UPC Barcodes through File Storage API for more information.
