Assign Serialized Barcodes to Items

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 787

So I am using BC 365 v19, and attempting to implement item serialization. So that each item has its own Item No. value, along with Serial No. values as they come into stock. I have defined a barcode mask of IIIIIIIIIIVVVVV as a means to this end. The goal is to be able to barcode scan the labels so that each serialized item is specifically identified.

My question involves how to define this in Item References for the items. I can assign a hard-coded Vendor Item No. value as a Vendor Reference No. But how/where do I define the serialization behavior as a Barcode reference? The Reference Type No. drop-down is empty, and the Reference No. field is looking for a static value. So I could populate the Item No. value in there, but what about the dynamic Serial No. value that needs to be appended to each new item that is put into stock?

I have the same question (0)

    A use case to better describe my goal would be transferring items between locations. Rather than the two step process of 1) identifying the Item No., then 2) specifying the Serial No. in Item Tracking, I would hope to barcode scan the Item No. + Serial No. value to shortcut the item transfer line into a single step.

    The solution will be in your barcode scanning software which is not part of standard BC.

    You will need to define a barcode label format that combines the item no with the serial no and also a rule that recognises the barcode contains both these bits of info.

    it depends on your scanning software exactly what this looks like and how it is configured.

    Extensions such as as Insight work, Clever handheld and Tasklet all have this capability.
