Generating Bar Codes

If your trading partners require bar codes, you can create and print bar code labels right from Liaison Athena. The printed bar codes match the bar code numbers that are sent with your advance ship notices, allowing your trading partners to cross reference your shipments when they arrive. Whether you can generate bar codes from the Athena interface is completely dependent on the TPK that governs your trading partner relationship.

To generate a bar code, open the advance ship notice the bar code will be based on and click the Print Bar Codes icon, as shown in the next graphic. This icon is only available if bar codes are available for that particular document.

Athena generates bar codes in Adobe Reader. If you are having trouble displaying or printing bar codes, see Printing & Troubleshooting Bar Codes.
