We don’t want the barcodes font (ie; Code 39, Code 128, etc) to generate but rather the data from the item inventory record only. The reason we want this is for a couple reasons. First being that we have some bottled product that is assigned a manufacturer sku yet the only thing on the bottle is the UPC or barcode. 

Second, by doing this we can start to play around with the idea of scan verification by opening a browser find field (ctrl f) and scan the barcode into that field to find a positive match highlighted on the ship screen to add another layer to help reduce picking errors.

Ultimately what we want to do at some point is build in scan verification as we discussed a few times in the past. This is kind of a workaround to give us a bit of inspiration as to how we can go about doing this.

I have a few other thoughts that we can discuss after seeing how the barcode data works out. 😊

This is where I inserted the code...

print '<td data-th="Item">';

          print '<div class="kstrong">' . $this->xhtml_encode($itemname) . '</div>';

          print '<td data-th="Barcode/UPC">' . $this->xhtml_encode($item['barcode']) . '</td>' . $eol;

          if (!(empty($item['itemopts']))) {

It seems to be working.  Does the code look clean?

I also added a column header.

In further modding this form can I change the "notes" field to have multiple lines from an input type="text" to "textarea" so that when a customer prints out an invoice that long data strings don't overextend the page margins making the printable form look funny? 

Could I change this...

print '<td data-th="Notes"><input type="text" class="itemnotes" id="itemnotes--' . $this->xhtml_encode($item['id']) . '" name="itemnotes[' . $this->xhtml_encode($item['id']) . ']" ';
print 'value="' . $this->xhtml_encode($item['itemnote']) . '" title="Notes" /></td>' . $eol;

to this???

print '<td data-th="Notes"><textarea class="itemnotes" id="itemnotes--' . $this->xhtml_encode($item['id']) . '" name="itemnotes[' . $this->xhtml_encode($item['id']) . ']" rows="4" cols="30" title="Notes">' . $this->xhtml_encode($item['itemnote']) . '</textarea></td>' . $eol;

I also added an additional text box for recording serial or lot numbers where they are needed to be attached to the shipping record for warranty purposes. Hopefully everything is clean. I'm working on better formatting and indentation. 

Thank you for your help

Thank you for your reply Nick.

For the extra field I added for recording Lot or Serial numbers how do I attach the information added into that field to record somewhere in the order record and possibly on the invoice if printed?

Thanks Again

How do I attach the Lot Number field I created in the ship screen to these new columns to add the information.  We will be adding the lot numbers and serial numbers from the ship screen but want it to store just like anything in the item notes field or tracking numbers would so we can look it up if needed?

Thanks

Thank you for getting back to me.  Is there a way that I can connect the new field I've created in the ship screen so that the information I enter there will record in the Edit Order and Billing Info area from the ship screen in the same way that tracking numbers or item notes would? Going directly to Edit Order and Billing Info for every order that has many items with lot numbers would essentially require us to handle the items twice and take longer.  I'll send you a screenshot so you can see what we have set up.

Thank you for getting back to me Nick.  I'm reviewing it and work on it.  Thanks Again
