New: One-Click UPC Barcode Generation
You can now have FlowState automatically create a unique barcode for any product—no more making one up by hand.
Simply click the Auto UPC button next to the UPC / Barcode field and choose one of the following:
Numeric UPC – Standard barcode using numbers only.
Consignment UPC – Creates a barcode beginning with C for consignment items.
Used Item UPC – Creates a barcode beginning with U for used or trade-in items.
Every barcode generated is guaranteed to be unique within FlowState, so you'll never accidentally create a duplicate.

Why You'll Love It
This saves time and eliminates the hassle of creating barcodes yourself. It's especially useful for consignment items, used merchandise, trade-ins, and products that don't already have a manufacturer barcode.
FastBound Compatible
If you use FastBound, everything continues to work automatically. FlowState handles barcode conversion behind the scenes, and manufacturer UPCs are still used when available. No changes are required to your existing firearm records or FastBound integration.
