How to edit "item code" ?

Dear Bro itronics,

Thanks for your fast reply...will get the keyboard wedge scanner as suggest by you earlier. anyway, Does it also can be use at item location transfer.. i mean internal transfer within own branch?

Thanks again.

Janusz I've noticed that Foreign Item codes are only used in sales and not in purchases could you please, tell me why? and what's the logic behind this codes?

Thanks Giorgi

Thx for the answer. Let me share with my observation on this. I've added 2 items, then I added foreign Item codes for those 2 items with descriptions. When in sales order window instead of 2 items there are 4 in the drop down list 2 of them are original 2 items I've added from the outset and the other 2 are descriptions of the foreign item codes. They should not appear as separate items on inventory don't they and also separate pricing can be set for them what for? or I miss something?

I think you should be able to use Foreign Item Codes as an alias in all places where you can enter an Item Code.  And when you add a Foreign Item Codes to a product it should use that Items price, and description. 

I think it should it should be just that an alias.

I see EAN/UPC as a means of automation.  To me EAN/UPC means very little.  But to a bar code scanner and a computer system EAN/UPC means everything.

When most companies come up with Item Codes they use some meaningful format, (all products that are cables may have an item code starting with CB, etc.)

When it comes to making a sale, counting inventory or other data entry you can sure use the speed of a a bar code and scanner.  Most all products today have a bar code.  Why not use what is there.

Sure you could do that, as was said above or in other post, a bar code scanner is nothing more then a replacement for your fingers on the keys. For me this would not work as we come up with Item Codes, and enter data before we generate a PO.  In most cases we will not know what the EAN/UPC is before we receive the products.

I think I am confused.  In another post I learned that foreign item codes cannot be entered for manufactured items, which I guess makes sense now that in this post I see everyone describing the feature for external codes only.  But all I want to be able to do is enter manufactured items on the sales entry with a barcode scanner.  So if I cannot add a foreign item code for a manufactured item, can I at least generate a barcode using my manufactured item's stock ID, so I can use a scanner to add to the order form?  If so how can I generate these barcodes?

Thanks
