Using Barcodes for sales and purchases
Once a barcode is added to product record it can be used as part of the system to find products. This is standard in the Merchanter system and requires no additional software or licences.
When in the basket, or building sales or purchases, scanning the barcode will lookup the product. With the basket, scanning the barcode automatically adds it to the basket, and scanning the same code multiple times increases the quantity of that product in the basket by 1.
In addition to the traditional sales and purchases, a barcode scanner can be used to lookup a product on a product or order search, for stocktakes, or filtering reports.
