End Number Specifies the end of the range barcode should end at Note that if you select “Random” or “Sequential” for the barcode type then when you save the settings Zedonk will automatically generate a barcode for every existing product by size. Also with either of those two barcode types selected, every time you create a new product (or size) it will automatically create a barcode straight away for the new product. If you select “Manual” as the barcode type then you will have to manually enter a barcode against each product size both for existing products and when you create new products. You can do this in bulk with an export/import. Once you have defined your settings, click the “Save and Close” button. This will prompt you to confirm that you wish Zedonk to generate a barcode for every product size that does not currently have a barcode. This will not change the barcode for any existing barcodes. If you have changed any of the settings and you want a new barcode generate for all products then you should first use the “Clear All Barcodes” button described below.
