Add an Item by UPC Barcode

In certain department scenarios (ex. a gift shop, bistro, store, etc.) it may be easier to add items into FullCount from the Touchscreen using a UPC barcode scanner. To add an item by UPC barcode, follow the steps below. Scroll to the bottom of this article to view a video tutorial of this process.

*NOTE: The article below assumes that a UPC barcode scanner has been purchased through FullCount and is plugged into the Point-of-Sale device.
 

Add Item by UPC Barcode

  1. On the main screen of the FullCount Touchscreen, press the Admin button.
     
  2. On the Administration screen, press the Add Item by UPC Barcode button.
     


 

  1. Scan the item’s barcode. The UPC Barcode field should populate with the item’s barcode identification.

*NOTE: A user may enter the item’s barcode identification manually with the virtual keyboard, but this is not recommended. User errors will not be automatically detected by the system.

  1. Enter the item's name in the Item Description field using the virtual keyboard.
     
  2. Once this information is entered, press Next.
     


 

  1. Select a tax rule.
     
  2. Select an item type.
     


 

  1. Enter a price for each customer type.

*NOTE: If all prices will be the same, enter the first price field, then press the Same Price for All Cust Types button.
 


 

  1. Click Done.

The item is now created and will be added to an order when scanned with a UPC barcode scanner. Adding an item by UPC barcode will NOT add a button for this item to the current department. The new item will need to be added to a menu from the Back Office to be manually selected on the Touchscreen. For instructions on doing this, click HERE.
