Print barcode labels or QR code labels
Updated

Barcodes or QR codes can be printed for bin or shelf labels for bulk and consumable items, labels for pegboards identifying where to replace tools, or as a reference at the checkout counter to save time. Barcodes and QR codes can also be printed for personnel, work orders, job & sub job codes, cost codes, and locations.
Two formats are supported:
- Avery 5160 3x10 label sheets
- 1"x2" label rolls
For serialized tools, we recommend preprinted polypropylene labels with a highly aggressive adhesive. If the QR code or barcode on a serialized tool is damaged, a better option than reprinting a label is to change the QR code or barcode. See Replace a Lost or Damaged Barcode or QR Code. Contact your account manager to order either type of label.
- Click Reports.
- Expand the Inventory folder then double-click Inventory Bar Codes or to print QR codes for inventory, double-click Inventory QR Codes.
To print barcodes for personnel, use the same process with the Personnel Bar Codes report or print QR codes with Personnel QR Codes. To print barcodes or QR codes for work orders, job & sub job codes, cost codes, or locations, expand the appropriate menu option.
- Enter any Filters for the report. The most common are described below but, as with all reports, Advanced Filters are also available.
- For a single label, enter the same value in Item ID >= and Item ID <=.
- For a range of labels, enter the first value in Item ID >= and the last value in Item ID <=.
- For newly added items, enter the Created Date >= .
- For a specific inventory type (such as consumables or bulk), type a full or partial Inventory Type.
