Question

Is it possible to create a Sales Order by scanning barcodes?

Our company has been using barcode inventory for just about everything we do and it's been a huge help with running operations. We started to think that maybe scanning in orders at our busy trade shows or events would be just as helpful.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to create a Sales Order by scanning our inventory barcodes? Rather than having to type in the products one by one. It would be a huge help if we could scan and go while filling up the sale sheet.

I appreciate you reaching out here in the Community for support, Funnov. I'm glad to lend a hand with Sales Order by scanning your inventory barcodes in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). 

 

The ability to scan inventory directly into QuickBooks makes business life a little easier, so here are a couple of options to get you back on track.

 

Any barcode scanner is compatible with QuickBooks as long as it complies with the following formats:

  • The scanner must support EAN-13 (International Article Number, formerly European Article Number) and Code-128 barcodes.
  • The scanner must produce a single carriage return at the end of the barcode.

 

Once verified, you'll need to enable the barcode option on your QuickBooks. By doing so, you'll be able to pull up inventory reports. To do that:

  1. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.
  2. On the left pane, scroll down to Items and Inventory, then go to the Company Preferences tab.
  3. Select the Advanced Inventory Settings.
  4. Go to the Barcodes tab, choose Enable barcode, then select Open Barcode Wizard.
  5. Decide if you want QuickBooks Desktop to create new barcodes for you.
  6. Select Next and Finish, then OK on the wizard windows.
  7. Select OK twice to close the Advanced Inventory Settings and the Preferences window.

You may need to use a 3rd party inventory management to integrate with QBD.
