Assign multiple barcodes to a single product or variant and let cashiers, warehouse staff, and sales users find the right item by scanning or typing any of them. The default product barcode still works alongside your alternate codes, so supplier labels, legacy packaging, and internal codes all resolve to the same product without duplicates or manual lookups.

Multiple Barcodes per Product

Add as many alternate barcodes as you need on the product template (single-variant products) or directly on each product variant. Every code is validated for uniqueness across the database.

POS Barcode Scanning

Scan any configured alternate barcode at the Point of Sale and the correct product is added to the order line instantly — no need to re-label stock or maintain separate POS products.

Lookup Everywhere

Multi-barcode search works beyond POS: Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Inventory transfers, receipts, deliveries, and any standard product search field recognise alternate barcodes.

Open the product

Go to Point of Sale → Products → Products and open the product you want to configure. The product form shows the standard fields — sales price, category, and the default barcode field on the General Information tab.

Add barcodes on the product

Open the Multi Barcodes tab and add one row per alternate barcode. For a single-variant product, add codes on the template. For products with variants, open each variant and add barcodes on the variant’s Multi Barcodes tab instead.

Scan any barcode at the POS

Open a POS session and scan or search using any configured alternate barcode. The module builds a barcode-to-product map when the session loads, so lookups are fast at the counter.

Same product, every barcode

Whether you scan 123456 or 009988, the same product appears in POS. Cashiers never need to know which code is “primary” — they all resolve to the correct item.

1. Go to Point of Sale → Products → Products (or Inventory / Sales products).
2. Open the product and select the Multi Barcodes tab.
3. Add one row per alternate barcode in the editable list.
4. For multi-variant products, open each variant and add barcodes on the variant’s Multi Barcodes tab instead.
5. Save. The barcodes are available immediately in POS and product search.
