The assignment of bar codes can be carried out using the Menu Screen  **Acquisitions >>> Previous Receipts **

 

This lists all receipts by Supplier and Office and filters can be applied in the menus to help locate the one that you are interested in. 

 

Select the one that is to be examined and select the small PLUS + symbol to display the copy details and confirm this is the entry to which you wish to assign bar codes.

The BINOCULARS icon to the right hand side should be clicked on to open the Copy Distribution screen (Stage 2 of Check In)

The bar code can be assigned as normal and **Save and Distribute** to complete the action. 

 

This presents the screen exactly as if the user had been in **Check In** **Receipts **and moved to the next Stage. 

 

If the copies have been assigned bar codes and distributed then the system will display the Summary and allow selection of **Invoice **or **Return to Check In**
