Barcodes Labels in Nimbus RMS
A barcode label is a unique code to identify items. This means each item has its own code that cannot be used by any other item. Many manufactured items come with pre-existing barcodes that can be scanned into the Item Code field on Item Definition screen.
Nimbus RMS can also generate barcodes for the SKUs entered in the system. Nimbus does this by creating barcode graphics for all item codes. Depending on the size of the code you can select the appropriate barcode template and print item barcodes from various screens in Nimbus RMS.
Nimbus RMS also provides you with the option to customize barcode templates according to your requirements.
