Business Central 2025 wave 1 (BC26): Print barcodes from production orders (No customization)

Hi, Readers.
The public preview for Dynamics 365 Business Central 2025 release wave 1 (BC26) is available. Learn more: Link.

I will continue to test and share some new features that I hope will be helpful.

Print barcodes from production orders:

Business value:
Production companies are always on the lookout for ways to streamline production processes. To remove a step or two from the process of tracking finished goods, Business Central offers a Print Label action on released and finished production orders. The action lets you print 1D and 2D barcodes to track the items on the orders, directly from the orders.

In Business Central 2023 wave 2 (BC23), Microsoft added a Print Label report action on multiple pages:

Report prints Item No., Description, and GTIN as 1D and 2D barcodes.

Item References and Item References List

Report prints Item No., Description, unit of measure, and Reference No. as 1D and 2D barcodes.

Lot No. Information Card and Lot No. Information List

Report prints Item No., Description, and Lot Number as 1D and 2D barcodes.

Serial No. Information Card and SN Information List

With this wave (BC26), a new Print Label action is available on the Released Production Order and Finished Production Order pages.
Released Production Order:

Finished Production Order:

Output Item Label (99000769, Report Request)

The action prints a report that includes the Item No., Description, Unit of Measure, and 1D and 2D barcode information from the orders. On the request page, you can also specify whether to print the Lot No., Serial No. or Package No. as barcodes.

Note:
Some printers and barcode/QR code formats require a specific implementation. You might need to upload a different Word template.

So if you want to change the standard report id or layout, you can modify it on the Report Selection Production Order and set Usage to Prod. Output Item Label.

Great. Give it a try!!!😁

PS:
1. Business Central 2021 release wave 1 (BC18): Use one-dimensional barcodes in reports (Business Central online)

2. Business Central 2021 wave 2 (BC19.1) new features: Using 2D barcodes Font in BC Online/SaaS (Aztec, Data Matrix, Maxi Code, PDF417, QR-Code)

END

Hope this will help.

Thanks for reading.
