Make it scannable on the floor
Give the factory a barcode scheme
Why this step
A scanner is only as good as the numbering behind it. A nomenclature tells WindoorERP how to read a scanned code — which part is the product, which the quantity, which the lot.
What this does
Defines barcode parsing rules so that handheld scanners and mobile tablets recognize product codes, package numbers, bin locations, and lot serials seamlessly across the factory and storage yard.
Before you start
- Enable Barcode Scanner in Inventory Settings.
- Determine whether your factory uses internal code prefixes or standard GS1-128 / EAN-13 barcodes.
Steps
-
01
Open Inventory › Configuration › Products › Barcode Nomenclatures.
-
02
Select the default nomenclature (e.g.
Default Nomenclature). -
03
Review the rule hierarchy: rules at the top take precedence over general rules at the bottom.
-
04
Add or edit rules for specific entities: Location (e.g. prefix
LOC-), Package (PKG-), or Lot/Serial. -
05
Test barcodes using the Barcode app on mobile or USB hand scanners.
Common mistakes
- Using overlapping barcode prefixes that cause a location barcode to be misidentified as a product SKU.
Checkpoint
Scanning a coded label on the floor resolves to the right product and quantity every time.
