Inventory Barcoding
Generate and print inventory barcodes for better inventory tracking
This page applies to DataNinja tenants integrated with NetSuite or QuickBooks Online, and to tenants with no finance system integration. The workflow in DataNinja is the same across integrations; where a financial system changes behavior, the integration-specific note calls it out.
Items that are synced with an integration will show the relevant integration's logo. Screenshots on this page may show the NetSuite logo, but tenants integrated with QuickBooks Online will see that logo instead. Tenants with no financial integration won't see any logo.
Inventory barcodes make it easier to track and interact with your inventory, resulting in more accurate inventory and financial records. Once your financial system is connected to DataNinja, you can print barcodes for inventory items as they arrive.
Printing Labels
Click "Receive", then all you need to do is scan or type the SKU number of the inventory item and specify the number of boxes and the quantity in each box. DataNinja prints inventory barcodes when you click "Save" and "Print". You can setup custom barcode label templates that are specific to the inventory item tracking type (Part Tracked, Batch Tracked, or Sub-Lot Tracked).

Standard Inventory Barcode Labels Contain:
• Quantity
• Unit of Measure
• Put away bin location
• Supplier Lot Number (if applicable)
• Internal Lot Number or Serial Number (if applicable)
• Date of Expiration (if applicable)
• Quality Status (if applicable)
Other Options for Data Displayed on Inventory Barcodes Include
• Supplier Part Number
• Customer Part Number
• Part Class
• Sales Class
• Shipment Date

Change Default Identifier Length
If you want to make your default identifiers longer or shorter, go to the Advanced section of your Company Settings and edit the Identifier section. The Prefix controls how long the lot number is, and the Suffix controls how many sublots can be created per identifier. By default, DataNinja will utilize letters A-G and numbers 0-9 when generating identifiers.
