Tip of the week7 October 2024

When creating documents, there are many ways to get it done correctly. Some businesses rely on Item Numbers while others use BP Catalog Numbers. Now, SAP Business One's Web Client supports using bar codes as the primary identifier in document lines.

Bar Code Column in Documents

Users can interact with the bar code column similarly to the Item Number field. The bar code column supports full functionality including manual entry, autocomplete features, and access to selection dialogs when necessary.

  • Manual entry capability for bar code values
  • Autocomplete features for faster data entry
  • Selection dialogs accessible when needed

Automatic Data Population

Once a bar code value is selected, the system automatically populates associated data fields including Item Number, Item Description, and Unit Price. This streamlines the document creation process and reduces manual data entry errors.

Availability: Web Client for SAP Business One 10.0 FP2202, and SAP Business One 10.0 FP2202, version for SAP HANA.
