In this section:
Prevent label printing
This function is used when you want to avoid printing labels for specific items. This can be particularly useful for products that are small and difficult to accommodate a GTIN-13 barcode label.
When enabled, labels will not be printed for that specific product. However, a barcode list will be generated for such products.
- Navigate to the Admin menu and select Barcode.
- You can use this list on Front Systems POS to scan the barcode of the relevant product.
Stock product
Items are by default Stock products, i.e., they are included in the inventory and will generate stock movements when sold in POS or upon return.
In some instances, you can choose to disable this function when you do not have the need to register inventory for the items sold. Once disabled, the item will not be deducted from stock upon sale and will not be included in a stock count. For example, when you are selling a carrier bag.
