How do you get the product barcodes to show on sales order screen?

 

There is an alternativeID column on this screen, but there appears to be no way to influence what alternative ID (if any) goes into this column?

Hi Dan,

Please refer to the help file for the sales orders: https://help-2021r1.acumatica.com/Help?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=19e4021c-1b84-49fd-be12-0320c5f1c7e5

“This column becomes populated only after you have typed any string in the Inventory box and the system has performed a search for the items with inventory IDs and alternate IDs that match the string.”

So basically if you used the barcode to populate the inventoryID it will be pasted to the inventory id.

If you need to populate barcode permanently all the time on the SO Order form, you may need to consider to use custom column for that.
