Topic: Input my own barcode and scan for inventory?

I would like to assign barcodes to all the products in my inventory without using the auto-generated barcodes.  For each of the barcodes for my products I like to include the date I purchased the item and my cost along with the sku.  I do this so when someone asks me if I can give them a discount for example, I can glance at the hangtag, which includes the barcode and know at a glance how long an item was in my inventory and what I paid for it.

I do not need FrontAccounting to generate my barcode.  I need to know if there is a way for me to enter a barcode I created for each item.  Ideally when I do my inventory checks I would like to be able to just scan the barcodes and have the program record the codes as I scan them.

Is this possible?

Inventory and Items->Foreign Item Codes is the way to enter barcodes for existing FA items.

If you have some other file that already has the items/barcodes, you might be able to use the Import Items extension to import them in one fell swoop.
