Barcode generation

Not everything arrives with a code on it. Loose stock, repacks and your own make get a code from Easy Khata, and from then on they scan like anything else.

Why a shop needs its own codes

Packed goods from a company come with a code printed on them, and scanning is easy for exactly those. The rest of a typical shop does not: grain weighed into bags, sweets boxed by the kilo, parts repacked from a carton, anything assembled or made on the premises.

Giving those items a code of your own puts them on the same footing as the branded stock — they can be scanned at the counter, counted by scanning during a stock check, and printed onto a label that sticks on the pack.

Giving an item a code

  1. 1Open the item

    Any item that arrived without a code of its own.

  2. 2Generate the code

    Easy Khata issues one and stores it against that item.

  3. 3Put it on the stock

    Print it as a label and stick it on the pack.

  4. 4Scan as usual

    It now behaves like any branded item at the counter.

Inside Products, Inventory and Warehouse

What you sell and how much of it you have. Stock moves as you bill and purchase rather than waiting for someone to update a register, and the items themselves carry the detail a bill needs: rate, tax slab, unit, and a code to scan.

Set the items up once and the rest of the app leans on them — the counter, the invoice, the order and every stock report read from the same list.

What it works with

A code is only useful once it is on the pack and something is reading it.

Questions people ask

Why would I generate a code instead of using the company’s?

You would not, where there is one. Generating is for the stock that has none — loose goods, repacks and anything you make yourself.

Does it replace the manufacturer’s barcode?

No. An item that already carries a company code keeps using it; generating is only for items without one.

What do I do after generating a code?

Print it as a label and put it on the stock, after which the item scans at the counter like any other.

Give your loose stock a code

The half of your shelves that arrives bare can scan as fast as the half that does not.
