Hi Kevin, the AutoBarcode feature looks at all barcodes in your system to determines which is the next one to generate. If an unexpected number is generated and you feel it should be smaller still, check for any 'unusual' existing barcodes that could explain the jump in numbers. Something like "select max(barcode) from items;" might reveal something, or also looking at the full list like "select barcode from items order by barcode". Hope this helps, Katrin On 06.09.23 17:37, Furst, Kevin wrote:
Hello,
I have an issue with how the next barcode displays when autofilled when added a new item to a record. In my autobarode setting, I have EAN-Incremental 13 Barcode selected. When creating a new item for a record, the system does autofill the barcode field however the formatting however it shows up in scientific number format rather than just integers or plain text.
For example, A barcode we use should look like this:
345171000448832
However, in the form, it fills something like this:
3.45171000471993e+19
Converting that to a real number, I get 34517100047199300000 which is too large/too many digits. I cannot just lop off the extra zeros. I would like to understand how that service works and what to try to get it working correctly.
