Barcodes for Product masters with Product dimension Configuration (Variant)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hi all, 

in my customer project I have the requirement to Generate Barcodes for Productmaster with Product dimension Configuration - Configuration technology is Predifined

I studied the blog from Rahul Mota https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/happyd365fo/posts/auto-barcode-generation-from-number-sequence-in-microsoft-dynamics-365-finance-and-operations

I did the Barcodes setup in the Retail an Commerce module - however the product dimension "configuration" dose not exist in the lookup

As seen in the screenshot only "Product" and product dimensions "Size, Color, Style" are available - however I finished all the setup as Rahul described - Then I tested it in the Contoso Demo data company account USMF for Item L0025 which has exactly 4 variants - Configuration 01, 02, 03 and 04 - then I released this item and the variants to company account DEMF - in DEMF I set up exactly the same Bar code setup

Now back in USMF on item L0025 in released products Tab Manage inventory Button Bar codes

First try I us the Button "Create bar codes from number sequence" - result

Everything looks fine - now I want exactly the same Barcodes for Item L0025 and its configurations in company account DEMF - therefore I hit the Button "Create/Update bar codes" and set the Radio Button "Create bar codes in all legal entities where this product is released"

Now the system created a new barcode in USMF for configuration 01

Having a look at the messages i see following entries

First the details for DEMF

Second for USMF

Now having a look to company account demf for Item L0025 and Barcodes in released product

That's really strange - any clue how i get the correct results? Do i miss any setup?

Every answer/suggestion is welcome

Thx in advance

    RE: Barcodes for Product masters with Product dimension Configuration (Variant)

    Hi Naithika,

    regarding your answers I'm wondering how to solve my problem

    ad 1) Generate the bar code using number sequence only .... this I tried, but then I receive other Barc odes as the generated onces from USMF becaus in my understanding, system generates new unique Bar codes from the number sequence of the other legal entity - eg. DEMF - so not really a solution

    ad 2) You can use create/Update barcode ... in here the problem is, that in the skeleton for the bar code mask the product dimension "configuration(variant) is missing, from standard only "size", "color" & "style" are available - and therefore system throws the error and can only generate 1 barcode - so I'm in a loop

    Do you have any other suggestion to solve the issue?

    Hi Wolfgang,

    The reason you are facing these error is because for legal entity USMF you generated barcode using number sequence. The number sequence skeleton for USMF was already set in your environment. This resulted in unique barcode.

    Now when you release the same products to other legal entities and try to generate the barcode you need to follow either steps

    1. Generate the barcode using number sequence only, but you need to ensure that the number sequence for that particular legal entity for eg. demf is set in the environment.

    2. You can use create/ update barcode. This method will pick the skeleton created in barcode mask setup. when a product is having variants the necessary segments need to be masked to produce unique barcodes. If the variant segment types are missing then the barcode will throw error and will generate only 1 barcode.

    Hope this helps you resolve your issue.
