Learn how to configure Nex to automatically generate product codes during registration.
With Nex, you can automatically generate codes between 2 and 6 digits only. Codes with 7 or more digits may conflict with standard EAN barcodes or cause errors in barcode scanners, scale-generated codes and label printers.
1. On the Products screen, click on the gear icon in the upper right corner.
2. Specify how many digits your generated code should have.
After saving this setting, existing product codes with fewer digits than specified will be adjusted by automatically adding the necessary leading zeros. Products with more digits will remain unchanged.
3. Click on Save - F2.
4. When registering a new product, check the Automatic option next to the Code field.
The automatic code is generated sequentially based on the highest existing non-EAN code in your system. For example, if you set the system to generate 4-digit codes, but you previously created a 6-digit code manually, Nex will continue numbering sequentially using 6 digits.
5. Click on Save - F2.
Done! Your product is registered with an automatically generated code in Nex.
