Version 8

Adding UPC’s to inventory

If you are not currently scanning UPC barcodes at checkout, maybe it is time to start doing it. This will speedup the checkout procedure, especially during that busy season or when you are having sales.

Please note that in order for you to be able to scan UPC barcodes, 2 things need to happen; the items you are scanning must have an UPC barcode on them, and the UPC number has to be added to that specific item in Retail Pro inventory section.

 The following steps will show you how to add UPC codes to your rows of inventory.

1. From the main screen in Retail Pro select MERCHANDISE at the top.

2. From the side menu select the INVENTORY button.

3. A list of your inventory items will appear.  Highlight the item that you want to add the UPC barcode to and select the “lookup” tab at the bottom of the page. Then select the EDIT option from the top menu.

4. Click in the UPC field next to the item you selected, then scan the barcode or enter the UPC numbers manually.

5.   Click on the save option from the top menu. 

You can edit multiple items without saving each one.  Moving from one record to the next automatically saves edits to the first record.

In Item View, press <Ctrl+F2> to enter continuous edit mode. Press <Ctrl+F2> again to exit continuous edit mode. This mode is only available in list view.
