I'm now using QB2022 and still find barcoding not getting the attention it needs to be competitive with competitors. I love using QuickBooks and being pushed into the barcode world by our customers. We need barcodes that can be added to packing slips at the invoice level, not the sales order level. They could be added to sales orders and when creating an invoice from the sales order they will carry over. They could even be added at the Estimate\Quote level and be able to transfer up to sales order and invoice during the processing steps. I also need to find how to customize the barcode labels I need to print. I would like to use our Item Code and not the Description. Some discerptions get long, over 50 words, item code are short and sweet. I would also like to have our Company Name print at the top of the barcode label. We use a Zebra Thermal printer. I do not see any templates available for just creating the barcode labels layout that could be adapter for the thermal printer. We have to create several barcodes of our own also because the items are custom made and currently do not have barcodes assigned.

Will I need to switch to third party software to create my barcode labels?
