In the move from 23R1 to 23R2, it switched from mapping the Cross Reference Alternate Type of Barcode to Alternate Type of GTIN/EAN/UPC/ISBN. See below in the respective documentation for each version:
We spent the last few weeks with our VAR testing this “bug” in our 23R2 sandbox and finally figured out that it was actually changed. When we launched on Acumatica in October, we came up with the procedure to add additional barcodes from our vendors into the cross reference as GTIN/UPC/ISBN so we can reference it when we receive the product. But, Shopify only take ONE barcode. So, we’ve built all of our inventory management/labeling procedures around the fact that it would be taking the Alternate Type of Barcode. Now that that’s flipped, we’d need to throw those procedures out the window, do some massive Import Scenario updates to the ~3 cross references on our 80,000 items and retrain our organization.
Can someone let me know WHY this change was made? I would sleep better at night knowing the change was done for good reason and maybe someone is benefiting from it while we get thrown into disarray ahead of our busy season. :)
