Starting in 4.8, Artisan supports the ability to use a UPC as a product’s Item Code. With this option enabled, after scanning a UPC into the Item Search and selecting “Add a New Record<\/strong>,” Artisan will populate the Item Code with the UPC (if the code doesn’t already exist in Artisan). Scanning or typing the UPC code onto the Sales Screen works as well.<\/p>\n

Setting Up UPC as Item Code<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To have Artisan automatically use the UPC code as a new Item Record when it’s scanned into the Item Search, you must first configure your settings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Go to “Program Options<\/strong>” and open “Inventory Handling Options.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

Open the “Inventory Numbering Schemes<\/strong>” section.<\/p>\n

Select “UPC<\/strong>” from the “Item Code (SKY) Numbering Scheme<\/strong>.” Since these codes are not generated by Artisan, they are not guaranteed to be unique codes – so keep that in mind when creating your records.<\/p>\n

Artisan will alert you that any new records will have this Numbering Scheme applied. Artisan will also ask if you want to apply this Numbering Scheme to your already-existing records. If you only want to apply this Numbering Scheme to just a few records, we recommend selecting “No.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using UPC as Item Code<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Scan or enter the UPC code into the Item Search.<\/p>\n

Artisan will automatically fill the code in as the Item Code\/SKU as well as the UPC code field.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fill in the rest of your product’s info.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sales Screen<\/h3>\n

To add a product to the Sales Screen using the product’s UPC code (as the Item Code), simply scan or enter it into the Sales Screen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0<\/strong>If your product is a variant, scanning the Base Item’s UPC code on the Sales Screen (which in this case is also its Item Code), will prompt Artisan to ask which variant you want to select.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
