UPC, EAN Barcodes in Tudodesk workshop software

In Tudodesk ERP, you can add multiple barcodes that can be scanned. These can be captured on any standard product and used for scanning/selling and inventory management without sacrificing the ability to identify products internally using the product code. You can also use internally created barcodes on your work orders to help you scan/identify jobs with a scanner.

Supported bar codes are

  • EAN-13 and EAN-8

  • UPC-A and UPC-E

  • Code128

  • Code39

How bar code codes work

Tudodesk lets you capture barcodes and assign them to products, parts or services in your price book. You can also scan internally created barcodes displayed on your PDF work orders and documents.

Tudodesk lets you capture codes and scan them in the following ways:

  • Adding products, parts or services to your work orders, invoices and estimates.

  • Add inventory adjustments when using or receiving parts and consumables such as paint or aggregate.

  • Assigning physical barcodes on products to your corresponding products in Tudodesk.

Adding and editing codes to products or parts individually

  1. Navigate to Prices/Products from the side menu.

  2. Click Create>Add Product or edit an existing product.

  3. Under General info, you will find the barcode option.

  4. Enter or scan the barcode into the barcode field.

  5. Click Save.

Importing bar codes in bulk

Using the batch import feature, you can import barcodes alongside your products and prices.

If you already have a price list of products, parts or services in Tudodesk, you will first want to download that list as a CSV file; you can edit the list in a spreadsheet and add your barcodes. After you have done this, you can re-import the list to update the barcodes for each Product.

To import a CSV file, follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to Prices/Products from the side menu.

  2. Click Create>Import CSV.

  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to import prices and products, or check out the article here.
