This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit S200UK-I-1750 Allow barcodes to be visible as a column in the Stock Module screen.
The barcode field is useful as common identifier between customers and suppliers, and the field is available in the stock item screen, the underlying tables and report designer - yet is not available in the stock item list view or other workspaces. Customers need to search for an item by barcode which isn't currently possible because of this. Sage 200 support say this isn't possible to change and isn't clear why since the data model used for the workspace is the same as that for the report designer. I can of course write reports, including SQL ones in Excel, but would be neater if this field were available to expose on the stock item list screen (and possibly even as an option when entering sales and purchase orders as an alternative way of finding the right stock code). Appreciate the stock items could just be set up with the bar code as their stock code but that's not always appropriate either.
