बारकोड लेबल
Print barcode labels for your products so they can be scanned at billing.
Why and when you use it
Typing or searching product names at the counter is slow and leads to wrong items on bills. Many products, such as loose or repacked goods, have no barcode of their own. Printing your own labels lets the cashier scan every item in Quick POS, which is faster and almost error-free. Store keepers usually print labels when new stock arrives.
Before you start
- Give each product a unique SKU / Barcode in Inventory
- Set up your label printer (or use plain sticker sheets)
Step by step
- Check product codesIn Inventory make sure each product you want to label has its SKU / Barcode filled in. The label uses this code.
- Open Barcode LabelsOpen Barcode Labels from the Inventory area.
- Pick the productsChoose the products you want labels for.
- Enter the number of labelsFor each product, enter how many labels you need. Usually this is the number of units you just received.
- PrintPrint the labels and stick them on the products or shelves.
- Test a scanScan one label in Quick POS to confirm it brings up the right product and price.
Worked example
Mehta Medicals, Pune, receives 60 bottles of a hand sanitiser repacked locally, with no barcode on the bottle. The product is saved in Inventory with SKU MM-SAN-500.
- Check that the product has SKU / Barcode MM-SAN-500 in Inventory.
- Open Barcode Labels and pick Hand Sanitiser 500 ml.
- Enter 60 labels and print them on sticker sheets.
- Stick one label on each bottle.
- At the counter, scan a bottle in Quick POS: Hand Sanitiser 500 ml is added to the cart.
Result: All 60 bottles can be billed with a scan, and every sale reduces the right product's stock.
💡 Tips
- Print labels when the stock is received, so no item reaches the shelf without one.
- Use the manufacturer's barcode in SKU / Barcode when there is one; you then need labels only for unlabelled goods.
- Keep codes short and without spaces so they scan reliably.
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Two products sharing the same SKU / Barcode, so a scan brings up the wrong product. Keep every code unique.
- Printing labels before fixing a wrong code in Inventory. Correct the code first, then print.
सवाल
Do I need a special printer?
A label printer is easiest, but labels can also be printed on sticker sheets with a normal printer.
