Yes. Business Central includes a built in item label report that can print barcodes, and you can adjust report layouts to add or change barcodes on your labels. A barcode generator is also available to produce sample barcodes, which is handy for testing and for building label formats.
Using the built in label report
Business Central provides an item label report that supports barcodes, so for many warehouses the simplest path is to use that native report to print labels with a scannable item barcode. This means you can produce barcoded labels without a separate labeling system, which directly supports faster scanning during counts because counters can scan the label rather than key in the item. The barcode encodes the item number, so a scan during a count jumps straight to the quantity field, and you can print labels in batches for new stock or to relabel an area before a full count.
Customizing label layouts
Labels are printed through report layouts, which you can edit to control what appears and where, including barcodes. If you need a specific label format, you can modify the layout or create a custom one and place the barcode where it suits your stock. This is the same report layout approach used elsewhere in Business Central, so adding a barcode to a label does not require a separate tool to render it.
Generating sample barcodes
A barcode generator is available to produce sets of sample barcodes, which is useful when you are testing scanning or designing a label and want representative codes to work with. These generated samples let you validate that your scanners read the format you intend before you commit to printing production labels. Once your labels carry barcodes, the rest of the counting workflow, on handhelds or with a simple scanner attached to a laptop, becomes faster and less error prone.
Related Tools
Advanced Inventory Count benefits from barcoded labels because count sheets can include a barcode to load a sheet on a handheld, and faster scanning shortens counts. Warehouse Insight reads the printed barcodes during mobile counting, and the Barcode Generator PowerTool produces sample barcodes for testing label formats.
Conclusion
You can add barcodes to labels printed from Business Central using the built in item label report and report layout tools, with a barcode generator available for sample codes. Barcoded labels speed up scanning during counts, which is where the time savings show up most.
