You can assign bar codes to fixed assets when fixed assets are created, to current fixed assets, or to fixed asset groups.

Assign bar codes when fixed assets are created

1. Click Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed assets parameters. Click the Barcode FastTab.

2. Select the Bar code equals fixed asset number check box. The bar code will be assigned when fixed assets are created.

Assign bar codes to current fixed assets

1. Click Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed assets parameters. Click the Barcode FastTab.

2. Select the Bar code equals fixed asset number check box.

3. Click Fixed assets > Periodic > Assign fixed asset number to bar code.

4. Process the batch job. This will assign bar codes to the selected assets.

5. If the bar codes should not be assigned to fixed assets as each fixed asset is created, clear the Bar code equals fixed asset number check box in the Fixed assets parameters form every time that you process the batch.

Assign bar codes to fixed asset groups

Instead of using the fixed asset number codes as bar codes, you can assign fixed asset bar code number sequences to specific fixed asset groups.

1. Click Fixed assets > Setup > Fixed asset groups.

2. For each fixed asset, select the fixed asset group to assign group-specific bar codes to.

3. Select the Autonumber bar codes check box.

4. Select the appropriate number sequence for the fixed asset group in the Bar code number sequence field.
