Automatically Generate Product's Barcode

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

We are importing new products by DIXF. The problem is after importing the products we have to generate their Barcodes one by one - from the path depicted in the picture - which is really time consuming. 

Is there anyway to automate this procedure during the import of products or generate all barcodes for a range of products in a single shot?

    Thanks for your reply. Is there any easy way to find the code in charge of generating the Bar code behind that menu Item?

    No I haven't. Could you please explain that a bit more?

    Hi Andre,

    There is an Entity for importing the bar codes out of the box. the problem is I don't know how to tell DIXF to generate the bar codes based on our business when I check the "Auto Generation" check box during importing, the bar codes that are generated are a sequence from 1 to n. However, when we generate bar code from the path I showed, it generates a different number. I want a way to tell DIXF to generate exactly the same bar code as the time it is generated from the Menu

    Hi Mehrdad,

    You can customize the data entity or use/create a new entity for bar codes.
