Item barcode via Item reference or Gtin code

Posted on by October Sky 65
Hi
I've seen on some other forums where Item barcodes are setup in the Item references as reference type barcode. How does this work? I fairly new to barcodes on Items. I simply input a number into the Gtin field and it allowed me to create a barcode on the Item card. Why use Item references? Any resources, links would be useful.
Thanks

    I think it can be simply understood as whether this item needs multiple barcode management. For example, if the barcode of customer A is different from the barcode of customer B, Item Reference is needed.
     
     
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

    Item references allow you to link barcodes to specific items. This is useful when the barcode doesn't match your internal item number.
     
    For example:
    • Direct match: If scanning a barcode produces '123' and your item number is also '123', no item reference is needed.
    • Indirect match: If scanning a barcode produces 'ABC' but your internal item number is '123', you'd set up an item reference. This reference would tell your system that barcode 'ABC' corresponds to item number '123'.
