Give items barcodes and print shelf labels
Quick answerIn MAJA Books, type or scan a barcode in the item's Barcode field or click Generate for an in-store EAN-13 code; use Give barcodes on Inventory → Items & Services to number every item that has none, then Print labels to print name, price and barcode on A4 sheets or a label roll.
Steps — one item
- Click Inventory, then Items & Services, and open the item (or click New Item / Service).
- In Barcode, scan the product's barcode or type it.
- If the product has no barcode, click Generate. MAJA fills an in-store EAN-13 barcode and tells you to print its label after saving.
- For packs and cartons with their own barcodes, use Pack & carton barcodes.
- Click Save Item.
Steps — every item without a barcode
- On Items & Services, click Give barcodes.
- MAJA tells you how many active items have no barcode. Click OK to give each one an in-store EAN-13 barcode.
Steps — print labels
- On Items & Services, click Print labels.
- Choose the Label format: A4 sheets of 65, 40 or 24 labels, or a label roll (50 × 25, 38 × 25 or 58 × 40 mm).
- Under On the label, tick what to print: Name, Arabic name, Price, SKU, Barcode.
- Under Price shown, choose selling price + VAT (the shelf price) or selling price as saved.
- In Add items, type a name, SKU or barcode to add items one by one, or click Add every item shown in the list.
- Set how many labels each item needs.
- Click Print. The labels open in a new window and the print dialog appears.
What MAJA does for you
- When a price, name, barcode, VAT or pack price changes, or a new barcoded item is made, MAJA queues a label to reprint. The Print labels window shows "… labels to reprint" with an Add them button, and marks them printed once you print.
Good to know
- A barcode can belong to one item only.
- If nothing opens when you click Print, your browser blocked the pop-up. Allow pop-ups for MAJA and try again.
- An item with no barcode shows "no barcode — give one first" in the label list.
