In Progress Barcode generation
Auto-generation of barcodes, please! The 12-digit UPC barcode, to be exact.

Hi guys! I made a video showing you a solution to print UPC-A and GTIN-14 Code on a DEAR template generated label. You could also do SSCC or any Databar. I hope this help you.

Likewise! Any update @DEAR?
Would definitely like to see this feature. Is there any update?
Barcode printing is a disaster. Does anyone have any updates on this?
How is this going DEAR?
I thought I would see how if anyone has had any luck with EAN13 output in DEAR?
Any updates on this @DEAR_Team ?

Instead of raising a new feature request I'll tag onto this one. We have a number of DC customers which require a SSCC label to be affix to each pallet that enters into their warehouse. Currently we are using a label which we are currently manually filling in which is taking time to complete for each order.
Each line item in a SO represents an individual SKU on the pallet being sent to the customer. At the end of each line you could have a tick box which notifies DEAR that a pallet/SSCC label is required to be printed.
In the PACK or SHIP stage there is a print icon which allows the user to print the pallet/SSCC label required for each pallet as per selection.
The label needs to consist of the following information:
- FROM
- TO
- SSCC # (made up from GS1 company prefix and sequence number to make the serial number)
- CONTENT (product description)
- QTY (number of items on the pallet)
- GTIN (product barcode)
- DATE SENT (dispatch date)
- BATCH (batch details if entered)
At the bottom of the label have the following barcodes:
- GTIN Barcode
- SSCC Barcode (GS1-128 format)
Creating these labels for each pallet makes the dispatch/receiving process much more simpler for all involved. This type of pallet label can also be used when putting stock away into your warehouse as well.
There may not be a large demand for a feature like this but there are many warehouses which a feature like this can reduce the picking time drastically.
Dear all
We are testing other fonts at the moment and will keep you updated of the outcome .

Hi all, thanks for the great posts above. I have a query for you please. I want to print a whole stack of DEAR generated barcodes onto a sheet of A4 card and then cut them out myself with a guillotine.
It should be possible to create a printing template and to print them off I would think as you do get label printers to print onto A4 sticker sheets.
Is this possible on DEAR?
I recently noted that DEAR does have the capacity to support UPC-A and other barcode formats, but only in their POS section.
@DEAR Support, can you please work on supporting other barcode types with your other section (purchasing, assemblies, etc)?
As mentioned, this may be as easy as uploading a new barcode font to your severs:

Hi Stan,
Thanks for the reply. I checked the template and saw that the Barcode should be ID Automation.
I copied it from the origional. So it is ID Automation (As Font Type)
In the product settings I added the product name as the Barcode.
If I print a label now I can scan it and it comes up as the Product name-( This is after about 10 attempts to scan the label).
If I go to Inventory Availability, I want to print an Item label that will produce a barcode based on the serial number. It still prints out the barcode for the product name.
If I remove the Barcode from the item settings, it prints a small barcode that does nothing.
How do I print a barcode for the serial number?
Is it possible anyone?
Regards Glenn
Hi Glenn,
I just printed out your barcodes and could not get them to scan with my (admittedly) cheap scanner. In the past, I have not had any trouble with scanning barcodes that I have generated from DEAR. If you have not done so already, I would recommend that you create a new support ticket and see if DEAR Support can help. I do not know about all of the various barcodes types, but maybe you are using a font/set that is not recognized by some scanners. Ask DEAR to modify the template, maybe the font, that you are using to print the labels so that you can scan them.
Good luck!

Hello,
I have spent nearly 400 Pounds on scanners and they cannot read the Barcodes generated by Dear.
I can walk around the stockroom and blast away with the scanners on any barcode and they read no problem.
Generate them from Dear ( Serial Number and/Or Product Bar code) - Nothing.
GRRRR ... getting frustrated.

Hi DEAR Support
Was wondering if there was any further development on this and the implementation of creating SSCC labels like other software solutions create (eg; C7). When dealing with larger DC, its a requirement of there's to provide each pallet with this type of label so they can be identified and receipted in
I am sure that there are a number of other users out there wanting to print these labels but are unable to do so in DEAR.
Would love to have the opportunity to discuss this topic further.
