(This feature is available in BCSS Deluxe, Diamond and Virtual.)

Items in inventory must be 'activated' for bar coding. Bar codes will not print for items that do not have assigned bar codes or that have a quantity of zero.

Assign Bar Codes Automatically

After individual inventory items have been entered (using the Add-Inventory Screen - F3), assign bar codes to each item by selecting Assign Bar Codes (Inventory Work Area, Quick Links):

A message will appear advising how many bar codes had been assigned.

Bar codes will be assigned to items when Batch Enter is used.

Bar codes will not print on price labels if bar codes have not been assigned and/or if bar codes have not been activated in Program Setup.

Assign Bar Code Manually

Print 'open' (unused) bar codes on price labels. Attach the labels to inventory items and enter the items (with their bar codes) in BCSS.

1. Click on Labels on the Main Menu.
2. The Inventory tab should have a yellow background to confirm that you are on the Inventory Labels Screen. If not, click on Inventory.
3. For Label Style, choose Bar Codes on Avery Stock.
4. On the next screen, click on Print Open Bar Codes.
5. Make any necessary settings.
6. The box named 'Bar Code Quantity = Inventory Quantity' can be checked or unchecked.
7. Click on Test Print.
8. If the labels appear to be correct, click the printer icon on the window menu bar to print.
9. Attach labels to items.
10. Enter the items in BCSS and record the bar code for each item.
