Do we need to maintain stock for an item to use its barcode?

ERPNext Stock/Inventory

Do we still need to maintain stock to use a barcode for nonstock item? I think that’s a big design issue.

Workaround

Create the Item as a stock item, add the barcode.

Then before doing any transaction on it, uncheck the maintain stock button.

Save

Now you can call it up with the barcode in sales or purchase documents.

Hope this helps

That is the way I implement but is quite a tricky way to do sth. We should make a sound design for this. Looks like, it is simply an interface issue.
