Remove the SBARCODE memo

Learn how to remove the SBARCODE memo which is created by the system every time a Stockitem barcode is changed in Amlib.

The SBARCODE memo is created by the system every time a Stockitem barcode is changed. This can present problems mass deleting Stockitems later, so many libraries like to prevent this memo from being saved.

  1. In Amlib go to Main > Supervisor > Supervisor screen
  2. Then go to LibraryMenu > MemoTypes
  3. Select F1 New and enter the details as below then F3 Save
    Memo Type – SBARCODE
    Description – System Memo for change of Stockitem Barcode
    Valid for Holdings – Y
    Valid for Members – N
    Show As Default – N
    Expires in n days time – -1
