Quick answer
LaSyncro can work with two separate product identifiers:
- a supplier barcode such as an EAN, UPC, or GTIN;
- a LaSyncro product label with an identifier beginning with LSP-.
These are separate barcode namespaces. A product can have one or both.
Supplier barcodes
Supplier barcodes are external product identifiers.
In LaSyncro, the supplier barcode is kept separately from the LaSyncro-generated product identity.
LaSyncro does not generate replacement EAN, UPC, or GTIN values.
LaSyncro product labels
A LaSyncro product label uses an identifier beginning with:
LSP-
LaSyncro creates this internal product identity when a product label needs to be printed and the variant does not already have one.
The generated value is stored against that product variant.
A product can have both
An LSP code does not replace a supplier barcode.
A product that already has a supplier EAN or UPC can still have a LaSyncro label, for example when you need another physical label for warehouse use.
The two identifiers remain separate.
Reprinting a LaSyncro label
Once an LSP identity has been created, LaSyncro keeps it.
Reprinting the product label uses the same LSP code rather than generating a new identity.
This means labels already applied to the product remain tied to the same product variant.
Products without supplier barcodes
A missing supplier barcode does not prevent you from creating a printable LaSyncro product label.
LaSyncro can mint an LSP identity when you print the product label.
