Assigning a Barcode to an Item
⚠️ ATTENTION: Barcodes must be unique numbers and are unable match Ref #s on any piece of equipment.
For example: if a Ref # is 1234 on a Portable Radio and the barcode you are trying to add to Emergency Kit is 001234 you will receive a Not Unique error message when trying to add the barcode number. You can check this by typing in 1234 the Search bar at the top right of the account
