    Automatic update of Inventory using barcode input...

    I run a small business. I want to start keeping track of inventory using a barcode system.

    I know Excel "ok", but I don't know programming.'

    I'd like to be able to do something very simple (for now)...

    For example...if I had PRODUCT / CODE / INV VALUE

    A - CODE A - 5
    B - CODE B - 11
    C - CODE C - 14

    I would want to be able to click a button (or scan a code for) : ADD +1 or REMOVE -1

    ...then scan the barcode on the product (A) and have it add or remove one, respectively. So, if the row for A is:

    A - CODE A - 5

    I choose "ADD" (with a button or scan code), then scan the barcode, and the spreadsheet automatically finds the code in the sheet, and changes the corresponding inventory value:

    A - CODE A - 6

    Does that make sense? How might I go about doing that?

    Please see the attachment.

    You will find the main code by hitting Alt F11. The code relating to the buttons can be seen by hitting F7 wher the userform is displayed in the VBA editor.

    Absolutely perfect! Thanks. I will review the code and learn what's going on.

    Hi

    This is very nice. I need something similar but adding or subtracting different quantities. And I would like to save the changes in other sheet.

    If someone can help me that will be great.

    Suggest starting your own thread and adding some extra detail including an example workbook.

    Re: Automatic update of Inventory using barcode input...

    Hi mrice,

    1. Any idea of removing product ID/status data/row from worksheet automatic using Barcode scanner?
    Without clicking additional button.
    2. I believe this have to be done so by filter through whole worksheet using macro?

    I suggest that you start your own thread with this additional question and include a sample workbook so that potential responders can see the layout of your data.

    Hi mrice & all

    I just new on excel VBA. Hope I can gain some help on this. Thanks

    That attachment file should be the one that I just edit on by adding remove button on the worksheet.

    1. Best that add/removing automatic as a row(product ID/price/status/date) using barcode scanner
    2. It should prompt user to scan product description/code/else into the inventory list when it detect that product does exist in the list after barcode scanning.
    3. Record of those user that have make changes on inventory list
