Update Barcode Values

If you define a new barcode for your Business Central or if you make changes to an already defined barcode on the setup page, you need to update existing barcodes or create new one for the defined format. This task can be time-consuming if you do it manually. We have added a button which allows you to update the barcode values globally.

To generate barcodes or replace already existing barcodes with batch processing, proceed as follows:

1. Open your Business Central.
2. From the role center, open the search (ALT+Q) .
3. Search for Barcode Setup and click on the corresponding search result. The page Barcode Setup is displayed.
4. In the table Specifications, click Manage > Update Barcode Values.
