Configure barcode generation

Updated over 6 months ago

Stockagile allows working with the most common barcode standards. Currently, the program works with EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A and CODE-128 codes.

Requirements to be able to create and edit barcodes:

  • The user must have the role of OWNER. You can see the different types of roles in the section Create or edit a user.

The barcode configuration is used to tell Stockagile how to generate barcodes for your products.

EAN-13, EAN-8 and UPC-A codes are composed of 2 parts: the prefix and the counter:

  • The prefix is the part that belongs to the company that has purchased the number range from an organization such as GS1. In other words, if you have purchased a number range with a certain prefix, you must detail it in this field.

  • The counter is the auto-incremental number of the next code that the program will generate

CODE-128 codes do not require a prefix. If you have not purchased any EAN or UPC prefix, we recommend that you use CODE-128 as the barcode type for your products.

Steps to be able to manage the different barcodes:

  1. Go to the drop-down menu at the top right with the user name and click on the CONFIGURATION button.

  2. Enter the BAR CODES option.

  3. Edit the prefix (only EAN-13, EAN-8 and UPC-A), the counter or both.

To learn more about the different barcodes you can access the GS1 website.
