Barcode Scanner Integration to Zoho Inventory

Barcode Scanner Integration to Zoho Inventory

Zoho Inventory supports bar code scanning in the web app. Here is how it works:

For Line Items:

Prerequisite: You have to key in the bar code of the item as the SKU of said item in Zoho Inventory manually or using a barcode scanner.

  • Open a new transaction(like an Invoice or a Bill).
  • Place your cursor on the Item Details field.
  • Scan the bar code of the item. You’ll see that the line item is automatically added.
  • Follow the above step to scan more items, which will be added consecutively.

Note: Bar codes with 6 characters or more of length are only supported.

For Serial Numbers:

Barcode scanning feature can also be used on serial numbers

  • In Bills
  • In Invoices
In Bills:

Prerequisite: You have to enable Track Serial Number feature at the time of item creation.

  • Open a bill and select the item to be purchased.
  • Click on the Add Serial Number(s) option under the Quantity section of the invoice.
  • A dialogue box pops-up prompting you to enter the serial numbers for the specified quantity.
  • You can either manually feed the serial numbers(comma separated) or scan the serial number of each unit of the item using a barcode scanner.
In Invoices:

Prerequisite: You have to key in the serial numbers either at the time of item creation or while creating a bill.

  • Open an invoice and select an item that is serial number tracked.
  • Once the items have been selected, click on the Select Serial Number(s) option under the Quantity section of the invoice.
  • A dialogue box pops-up prompting you to select the serial numbers for the given quantity of items.
  • You can either manually select the serial numbers or scan the serial number of the item using a barcode scanner.
  • You’ll see that the serial number will be automatically added to your transaction.

Note: Similar to invoices and bills, barcode scanning can be used wherever serial number is applicable.
