Nope. You should set up a few part numbers in the training company and take some orders, using a bar code reader and enter the data as you would expect that to work... print some p/l and invoices .. and see what happens.

Hi HarryR, So basically what you are saying is that Peachtree does not have the capability to perform for a POS set up? I really would not mind changing all my item ID's into barcode numbers, even tough it is tedious, then let a barcode scanner do the job for invoicing. All I would have to do is punch in the quantity then scan the product's barcode, is this possible in Peachtree? Follow up questions: Can Peachtree print barcodes? Is there a report or way to print details (such as the item ID - being the barcode number, the barcode vertical line format, the description, the selling price) of a certain item ID through a barcode printer?

I am not using this part of the program but I have the software. There is only one company that uses Peachtree to control the inventory.  If you would like a demo shoot me an email.  I will make it happen.

So now you have entered barcodes for your items in the Item Master. What to do with it when you want to ship in a POS set-up?.... You can not!!  When you create an invoice you would assume that you could use the bar code reader to " shoot" the bar code and that this would populate the appropriate field on the invoice... Nope. It does not.   The only solution is to go for an external - 3th party  -POS solution that then merely uploads the results of a transaction into Peachtree AFTER everything is done. That will bypass any and all controls in Peachtree and you will just be using Peachtree as a financial back-end system. It's a real pity. I would happily buy and pay for this POS capability. OOPS I should have said  Sage 50.   :-)

Hi,

I was wondering if Peachtree has solved this issue now? Its been a little more than 3 years now, has this concern been properly addressed since I am also now facing the same problem?

We have set all our item ID's already, now we are in the process of automating with the use of barcodes / barcode scanners.

If the issue has not been solved, is there a way for Peachtree to replace all the item ID's to UPC/SKU automatically? We have over 8,000 items and it would be very time consuming to change all item ID one by one. Maybe there is a way to extract then import data and switch the Item ID and UPC/SKU fields?

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Just checking to see if anything is cooking!

I upgraded from 2008 Distribution to Quantum 2009 last week and everything went well.

Now looking at UPS integration.

Cheers

Ok, folks. So I am checking one more time. It seems to me that this is an easy fix for the Peachtree DEV team.

Looking at the Maintain Order Templates screen, there is a finite list of fields and columns that can be selected from (to render on screen) and then there is the option to take some or all of these fields / colums and print them on forms.

So, looking at the field and column options for the sceen rendering, I do NOT see the Part number field nor the UPC field as a selection option. This seems to be the trigger screen to make these things happen.

If that is the case, having the option to select (plus of course the appropriate dev work to support that selection) will do the trick. That must take a good DEV person about 1 hour to make work ( OK worst case 2 hours)  and another few hours to test. I am happy to be a beta customer for that mod.

Let me know Andrea!!.
