Creating barcodes ?

Creating barcodes ?

When creating a barcode for new products you need to make sure Samstock is set to create a readable barcode for the cash register barcode reader.

Set new barcode the be EAN-13 as this will readable by U.K. barcode scanners such as Labau / honeywell etc.

Import / Export into Excel - Barcode number change.

When importing into an Excel spreadsheet. You may experience a change in values in the fields. Look at the barcode field and it may not appear as a 8 or 13 digit number and instead may say something like 15E etc.
Please change the format of this field to be a number. This will ensure the import back into Samstock has been done correctly.

Incorrect currency showing ?

The currency symbol is controlled by the regional settings within Windows,
there is an issue within Windows 7 where the settings shown in Windows do
not match the currency used. To fix this, change all the region settings to
US and apply then change back to UK.

Once Samstock is restarted the currency symbol should now be UK.
