When to use this: Use this guide to turn on the Labels module, choose your default templates/label size, and set up internal barcode prefixes. Every field here saves the moment you change it — there is no separate Save step.
Opening Labels & Barcodes
- Click Settings (gear icon at the bottom of the left sidebar).
- Select Labels & Barcodes.
Labels & Barcode
- Enable Labels & Barcode Printing (org-wide): Unlocks the whole Labels module — the template designer, batch printing, and internal barcodes. Off by default.
- Batch-Wise Barcodes (org-wide, only shown once the above is on): Generates a unique barcode for every batch you receive at GRN. Scanning that barcode at billing picks that exact batch (its MRP/expiry) instead of BitMed auto-selecting by FEFO.
Once Labels is enabled, these per-store defaults appear:
- Default product label template: Used when you print a single product's label.
- Default batch label template: Used when batch-printing labels, e.g. straight from a GRN.
- Default label size: The size pre-selected in the print flow.
- GRN label quantity: How many labels to pre-fill when printing from a GRN — one per product, one per received unit, or ask every time.
- Product Barcode Prefix: The two digits (00–99) every generated product barcode starts with. Defaults to
12— leave blank to use the default. - Batch Barcode Prefix: The two digits (00–99) every generated batch barcode starts with. Defaults to
14— leave blank to use the default. - Printer profile (optional): A free-form label to identify which printer this store uses.
The Enable and Batch-Wise switches are org-wide; everything below them is set per store.
