Warehouse Setup / Barcode Maintenance / Barcode Maintenance [WHS031]
The DATASCOPE WMS Barcode Maintenance module aids warehouses in picking and packing stock codes using unique alternative barcodes or identifiers. The module can also address a more advanced configuration where a warehouse has two different stock codes in SYSPRO for a single product’s UPC or EAN barcode.
Example: A vendor upgrades a particular item with a slightly different design or packaging, but the product's UPC or EAN barcode remains the same. As the items look physically slightly different, it’s possible to create two stock codes in SYSPRO to correctly identify the two items on the warehouse floor. Still, both stock codes will have the same UPC or EAN barcode number.
In this scenario, you can link the UPC or EAN barcode number (which is the same for both products) to the two stock codes in SYSPRO. This will be done in the DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS Barcode Maintenance module.

The Barcode Maintenance screen will open.
Enter the first stock code in the Stock Code field.
Select the Refresh icon to load the data grid (or just tab off the field)
The data grid will update with the ability to edit (or add more Alternate UOMs)
Add an Alternate Value (which is the product's UPC or EAN barcode) in the Alternate Value field for the first stock code.
The Conversion can be Multiple, and the Factor can be one.
Update the free format UOM text field with a recognizable name.
Select the Apply button to save the first Alternate Value.
Enter the second stock code in the Stock Code field.
Enter the same Alternate Value as for the first stock code (UPC or EAN barcode) in the Alternate Value field (as the UPC or EAN barcode is the same for both stock codes)
Again, the Conversion can be Multiple, and the Factor can be one.
Update the free format UOM text field with a recognizable name.
Select the Apply button to save the second Alternate Value.
A pop-up will appear explaining how the system will now function with these linked Alternative Values.
