If the field in is selected, a bar code is assigned when you create a fixed asset record.
If the field is not selected and the bar code is set up in the fixed asset group, you must generate a periodic job to assign bar codes. This option is very useful because the decision to use bar codes can be made later, and subsequently, the bar codes can be allocated later.
Bar codes can be assigned even if automatic allocation of fixed asset numbers from the general number sequence in parameters is not used. In this case, fixed asset numbers are allocated manually, and the periodic job, , assigns the fixed asset number and the bar code number, as well. The only prerequisite is that the field in has been activated.
