Adding carton barcodes in Pickscan for Linnworks

How carton barcodes work

Pickscan supports carton (or outer) barcodes so you can scan one barcode to record multiple quantities. To set this up, you add the carton barcode and its quantity as extended properties on the product in Linnworks.

Enable Carton Scanning

Carton scanning is disabled by default to enable it flick the toggle in settings in the Pickscan embedded Linnworks application

Add a carton barcode

1. Open the product in Linnworks

   Go to My Inventory and click the SKU of the product you want to add a carton barcode for. The Product Details window opens.

2. Open Extended Properties

   Select the Extended Properties tab.

3. Add the barcode and carton size

   Click Add New and create the following pair of extended properties:

   • supplier_barcode_x — the carton barcode value
   • supplier_carton_size_x — the number of items in the carton

   Replace x with a number to identify the pair. For example, if a carton with barcode 123456 contains 12 items:

   

   • supplier_barcode_1: 123456
   • supplier_carton_size_1: 12

   If the same product also comes in boxes of 48 with barcode 7890, add a second pair:

   • supplier_barcode_2: 7890
   • supplier_carton_size_2: 48

Carton barcodes on the mobile app
