What is Barcode Label Printing


With the barcode label printing feature, it allows Dealerships to be able to print barcode labels for Part Records from Blackpurl


These labels can then be attached to the relevant part or on the relevant shelves where the parts are to be located 


When the labels are attached to a part and a customer wishes to purchase this part, you can scan the barcode right into the Search to Add section on a Customer Order


For example on a Parts & Accessories section > Search to Add:





Where is Barcode Label Printing available in Blackpurl


There are two options on where you can print a barcode label in Blackpurl


Option 1 - Vendor Receiving

 

  • When you are processing a Vendor Receiving > click on User-added image > Print barcode labels



  • The Print Barcode Labels window will pop up for you to make your selection on what labels you want printed




In the above example there are parts on this Vendor Receiving for both Stock and also for Customer Special Orders


For items you don't want to print a label for, simply untick the checkbox on that relevant line


The Stock Labels will automatically default to the quantity being received (but you can change the quantity you want to print as required) and print out a label suitable for adhering to the part itself or on the relevant location shelf

Then simply click on the Print Labels button - in our example above  for the labels to print to your Label Printer


When the barcode labels have printed off for Stock - they will print with the Part Number / Part Description / Dealership name etc / Price (as per system setting - see last section in this article) and also include the location (if a location has been assigned to the Part Record)




When the barcode labels print off for the Customer Special Order Parts - they will print out the part details / the relevant Customer Order Number / Customer's name (in the example below, the customer's name is Price) together with the transaction type ie parts sales - which will allow you to attach the label to the special ordered part and have it known it is for a specific Customer Order





Option 2 - Parts Records

Blackpurl offers the Dealership the ability to print off individual Barcodes labels from any Part Records screen


  • Navigate to the relevant Part Records screen > click on User-added image > Print Barcode Label

 



  • The Print barcode labels window will pop up for you to confirm the quantity of labels that is required to be printed and a preview of the label - then click on to print



  • This is a picture of the printed label as it has printed from a Zebra ZD411 (203dpi) - one of our supported barcode label printers




The default label includes:


  • Part Number (in the above example - 1234-4567)
  • Part Description (in the above example - Widget)
  • Price (in the above example - $150.00) but if you do not wish the price to print, see the next section

Prices on Barcode Labels


There is a setting that you can enable / disable that will allow the Dealership to have the option of printing the price on the barcode labels
