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

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 > 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
