Printing Barcodes

WorkMate enables you to generate and print barcodes directly from your purchase orders, facilitating efficient tagging, scanning, and inventory management. To use this feature, first configure your barcode template in Settings. Once set up, you can seamlessly print barcodes as needed.

1. Access WorkMate Printing Settings

• Scroll down to the Purchase orders section.

• Click New template.

2. Input the Barcode Template Information

• Input a name and subject for the print template.

• Input this code in the Template section to create a barcode template:

{% assign total_barcodes = 0 %}{% for item in lineItems %}{% assign total_barcodes = total_barcodes | plus: item.receivedQuantity %}
{% endfor %}{% assign current_barcode = 0 %}{% for item in lineItems %}{% for i in (1..item.receivedQuantity) %}{% assign current_barcode = current_barcode | plus: 1 %}<div style="width:2.5in; height:0.7in; display:flex; align-items:center; justify-content:center; margin-bottom:10px;">
      <img src="https://barcode.tec-it.com/barcode.ashx?data={{ item.sku | url_encode }}&code=Code128&multiplebarcodes=false&translate-esc=false" alt="Barcode for {{ item.sku }}" style="max-width:100%; max-height:100%;" />
    </div>
    {% unless current_barcode == total_barcodes %}
      <div style="page-break-before: always; clear: both;"></div>{% endunless %}{% endfor %}{% endfor %}

• To adjust the dimensions of the barcode, add width and height properties to the image's style attribute, for example:

style="max-width:100%; max-height:100%; width: 6in; height: 1in;"

• Additionally, you can modify the size of the surrounding <div> to match the barcode dimensions. Both the barcode and container size should be consistent to ensure proper display.

  • Note: Changing the barcode's width or height without maintaining its original aspect ratio may cause it and the SKU to appear stretched or warped.

• Below is an example of the code that sets the barcode to 6 inches in width and 2.5 inches in height:

{% assign total_barcodes = 0 %}{% for item in lineItems %}{% assign total_barcodes = total_barcodes | plus: item.receivedQuantity %}
{% endfor %}{% assign current_barcode = 0 %}{% for item in lineItems %}{% for i in (1..item.receivedQuantity) %}{% assign current_barcode = current_barcode | plus: 1 %}<div style="width:6in; height:2.5in; display:flex; align-items:center; justify-content:center; margin-bottom:10px;">
      <img src="https://barcode.tec-it.com/barcode.ashx?data={{ item.sku | url_encode }}&code=Code128&multiplebarcodes=false&translate-esc=false" alt="Barcode for {{ item.sku }}" style="max-width:100%; max-height:100%; width: 6in; height: 2.5in;" />
    </div>
    {% unless current_barcode == total_barcodes %}
      <div style="page-break-before: always; clear: both;"></div>{% endunless %}{% endfor %}{% endfor %}

• Save your changes.

3. Access the Purchase Order for Barcode Printing

• Open the associated purchase order in WorkMate.

4. Print the Barcodes

• Mark the relevant line items as completed by clicking on + New receipt or Receive products.

• Click Print.

• Select your barcode print template.

• Click Print.

• The barcodes will now begin downloading to your computer.

• A barcode will print for each item you marked as received in your completed receipts.

  • For example, if six products are marked as received, six barcodes will be downloaded and ready for printing.

Tip: If you need to reprint a barcode, simply generate the barcodes again and use your printer settings to select the specific pages you want to print.
