Barcodes
Striven provides a Barcode feature that makes it easy to add Items to Transactions by either manually entering a designated Barcode Number, or scanning a Barcode on a physical Item with a scanner. Tracking inventory with this feature is a fantastic way to save time when adding a large number of Items to Transactions, or adding Items to Transactions while in a store or warehouse environment.

Enabling Barcoding
To turn the Barcoding feature on within your Striven system, you will need to first navigate to Company → Settings → Accounting → Items → Settings.
On this settings page, there will be an option in the Other Settings section to Enable Barcoding.
Example of Enabling Barcoding in the Items Settings Page
Once you have enabled the Barcoding option, a Configure option will appear. Clicking on this option will allow you to set the Default Barcode Type, which will automatically be set to Code 39. Other available Barcode Types include Code 128 and UPC-A.
Example of the Barcode Configuration Dialog Box
Set Barcode Value on Item
Now that you have enabled Barcoding for Items in your settings, it is time to set the Barcode Value on each of your Items. You will need to navigate to your Items List by going to Accounting → Inventory → Items.
Once on the Items list, you can search for the particular Item you want to set a Barcode Value on. After searching for your Item, click on the Item name to display the Item Info.
Within the Item Info page, you will want to configure the section labeled Inventory Settings to set the Barcode Value. The Barcode Value should correspond with the Barcode that you have on your physical Item or inventory. A Barcode Value can be set for all Item types within Striven.
Example of a Barcode Value Setting on an Item Info Page
Set Barcode Value on Inventory Locations
Another area where you can add a Barcode Value is your Inventory Locations. Setting up Barcode Values for your Inventory Locations will allow you to quickly scan to select a Location you are pulling the Items from onto your Transactions.
To add Barcode Values to your Inventory Locations, you will need to navigate to Company → Settings → Accounting → Items → Inventory → Locations.
Example of the Inventory Locations Page
From the Locations list for your Items, you can add a new Location or select one from the list to edit an existing Location. When editing an Inventory Location, a field will be available for the Barcode Value to be entered.

Using a Barcode Scanner
There’s no extra setup required to use a Barcode Scanner with Striven, unless your scanner has a Bluetooth option for a wireless connection. If that is the case, you will first need to follow the instructions available from the Barcode Scanner’s manufacturer to set the wireless connection up properly. Otherwise, you will simply need to plug in the scanner and you can begin using it to add Items to Transactions.
Barcode Scanners can range in price going as high as $5,000.00 USD. Some more affordable and recommended options are listed below for a Barcode Scanner you can use with Striven:
- Zebra Symbol LS2208 Barcode Scanner: Around $70.00 USD
- Brainydeal USB Automatic Barcode Scanner: Around $33.00 USD
Enter or Scan Item Barcode
Now that you have enabled Barcoding in Striven and have set up your Barcode Scanner, you can now begin to scan Barcodes to quickly add Items to orders or Transactions in the system.
You will begin by creating the Transaction or Order type you need and navigating to the Item section of the page.
To begin scanning Items with a Barcode, you will need to first click into the Scan Barcode field at the top of the Item section.
Example of the Scan Barcode Field at the Top of the Items Section
Once you have clicked into the Scan Barcode field, you can begin typing your Barcode Number and hit enter, or use your Barcode Scanner to add Items to the Items List section.
Example of Adding Items to a Transaction Using Barcodes
If you scan the same number or enter the same Barcode Number multiple times, the quantity for the already added Item will increase instead of creating a new Line Item.
Example of an Item Quantity Increasing when a Barcode Number is Repeated
Enter or Scan Location Barcode
Once an Item has been selected on your Transaction, a Location needs to be selected. You can do so by clicking on the < select > link underneath the Item name to display an Inventory Locations popup that includes a Barcode input field.
Example of an Inventory Location Selection Option for an Item
On the Inventory Locations selection popup, you will see each Location listed, sorted by the quantity in each Location. Click into the Barcode field before beginning to scan your Inventory Location Barcode.
This will narrow down the results based on the Barcode Value you entered into this field. This easily saves time when dealing with multiple Inventory Locations.

Serial Number Management
With Serial Numbers enabled for your system, managing Serial Numbers can be done through the addition of these items through various transactions in Striven. Depending on the type of Transaction, Serial Numbers will be added or removed from the system. For example, adding Serial Numbers through AP Transactions such as Bills will set the Serial Number entered as available to sell through other Transactions such as Invoices.

Enable Serial Numbers
To effectively manage and track your inventory, enabling serial number tracking within your system offers a significant advantage. The following steps outline the process of initially enabling serial number functionality within the system’s settings and subsequently configuring individual items to utilize this crucial tracking capability, along with important considerations for managing these settings once transactions have occurred.
Enable Serial Numbers In Settings
To enable Serial Numbers in your system you will first need to navigate to Company → Settings → Accounting → Items → Settings. In the Other Settings section, check on the option for Enable Serial Number/Lot Number Tracking. Clicking on the Configure option that appears will allow you to set which transaction types where Serial Numbers should be required as well as additional Lot Number settings.
Example of the Inventory Settings Page with the Serial Number Option Enabled
Enable Serial Numbers For Items
Once Serial Numbers have been enabled in the Inventory Settings, individual Items will need to be configured to enable Serial Numbers per Item that is applicable. When adding or editing an existing Item, the Inventory Settings section can be configured to Enable Serial Number Tracking. Once the Enable Serial Number Tracking option has been selected, an additional configuration option will appear labeled Advanced Settings.
Example of an Item with the Serial Number Option Enabled
The Advanced Settings option will give configuration choices to require Serial Number entry or selection on specific types of transactions when the item is added. This will ensure Serial Numbers are not missed when purchasing and selling specific Items in Striven.
Example of the Serial Number Advanced Settings on an Item
It is important to note that once an Item has been used on Transactions in Striven, you cannot check or uncheck the Enable Serial Number Tracking option on the Item Info page. When attempting to change this configuration, a warning message will be displayed as the following:
Example of the Alert Message for Serial Numbers on the Item Info Page
-
Managing Serial Numbers
Now that Serial Numbers have been enabled in your settings and for the specific Items where applicable, you can begin adding or removing Serial Numbers through the system via adding the Item through various Transactions. The specific Transaction type determines whether Serial Numbers are added or removed from the system. For instance, when you enter Serial Numbers through AP Transactions like Bills, those numbers become available for sale through other transactions such as Invoices. Review the information below for specific Transactions and how they affect Serial Numbers in Striven.
- Note: The option for Select existing serial numbers that are available, which is detailed in the sections below, will be available on 06/22/25.
Adding Serial Numbers Through Transactions
Serial Numbers will become available to sell to Customers in Striven once they have been added to the system through AP type Transactions such as Bills or Received Items. Serial Numbers can also be added to Purchase Orders but these numbers will only be considered available once the PO has been turned into a Bill or Received Item. Serial Numbers added through a Bill Credit will remove the Serial Number as available to sell to a Customer through an AR Transaction.
When creating an AP Type Transaction, once the Item has been selected in the Items section a Serial Numbers icon will appear next to the Item’s name. This icon will be accessible once a Location has been selected for the Item listed.
Note: It is important to update the quantity of your Item first before entering the Serial Numbers to ensure the accurate number of Serial Numbers are added for the line Item.
Example of the Serial Numbers Icon on a Bill
Once the Serial Number dialog box appears, users can enter the Serial Numbers that are being brought into your Inventory for the Item. The number of Serial Numbers entered here cannot be more than the quantity entered for the Item on the Transaction. Once the appropriate Serial Numbers have been entered, click save to return to the Bill.
Now that the AP Transaction has been saved, the Serial Numbers that were entered will be considered available when creating an AR Type transaction to sell to a Customer which will be detailed in the next section.
Example of the Serial Number Dialog Box for a Bill
Selling Items with Serial Numbers Through Transactions
Once Serial Numbers have been made available to sell by bringing them into the System through AP Transactions, you can now add the Item with the specific Serial Number on AR Type Transactions such as Invoices and Sales Receipts. Serial Numbers can also be added to Sales Orders for ease of entry when the Order is turned into an AR Transaction. Serial Numbers added through a Credit Memo will return the Serial Number back into the system as available again.
When adding an Invoice or Sales Receipt to Striven, Serial Numbers can be selected for the Item through the Serial Numbers icon once it has been added to the Item section on the Transaction and a Location has been selected.
Example of the Serial Numbers Icon on the Add Invoice Page
Once the Serial Numbers icon has been clicked for the Item on the Transaction, the Serial Number dialog box will appear in order to select or enter the Serial Numbers that are being sold to a Customer. By default the dialog box will have the option enabled to type in Serial Numbers. By typing in the Serial Number, the system will do a check to see if that number is available to sell. If the number is found, a warning will appear letting the user know the Existing serial number is found and will be used. An additional option is available to not use the existing serial number at the location selected.
Example of the Serial Number Dialog Box with an Existing Serial Number Entered
An option is available in the Serial Number dialog box to Select existing serial numbers that are available, which allows the user to select from a list of available Serial Numbers rather than typing in the exact numbers.
Example of the Serial Number Dialog Box with the Select Existing Serial Numbers Option Highlighted
With the Select existing serial numbers that are available option enabled, users can select from an existing list of available Serial Numbers that have previously been entered into the system. Users can utilize a search option at the top in order to narrow down Serial Numbers as needed for longer lists. To return to the type-in option, click the Enter Serial Numbers option to return to the previous screen.
Example of the Serial Number Dialog Box with the Select Existing Serial Numbers Option Enabled
Users will have the ability to toggle between the Enter Serial Numbers option and the Select existing serial numbers that are available option without losing any selections added. The number of Serial Numbers entered here cannot be more than the quantity entered for the Item on the Transaction.
Example of the Serial Numbers Dialog Box with Serial Numbers Selected
Serial Numbers on Item Builds
Serial Numbers can be assigned to individual components of a manufactured item, allowing for tracking and management of each specific part. However, it’s also possible to assign a serial number to the manufactured item itself. This means that the final assembled product will have its own unique serial number, rather than relying solely on the serial numbers of its individual components.
When utilizing Item Builds in Striven to manufacture Items, Serial Numbers can also be selected for the Item components within the Build. This functionality allows you to build a manufactured Item while using Items with set Serial Numbers in the system. This process ensures that specific, identifiable components are used in the manufacturing process, enhancing traceability and quality control.
Example of the Serial Number Icon on Item Builds
Learn more about Manufacturing Items in Striven by reviewing the Manufactured Items and Item Builds section within the Item Types area of the Item Management Guide.
Serial Numbers on Inventory Adjustments
Whereas the AR and AP Transactions in Striven will determine if an Item’s Serial Number is being added or removed from Striven, both can be accomplished through the Inventory Adjustments feature. By adjusting the Qty Adjustment or the New Qty column by either a negative value or a positive value will determine if a Serial Number is being added or removed from the system accordingly. The Serial Numbers icon will appear for each Location selected for a specific Item.
Example of Adjusting Serial Numbers Through an Inventory Adjustment
Learn more about making adjustments to Inventory in Striven by reviewing the Inventory Adjustments section within the Inventory Items area of the Item Management Guide.
Serial Numbers on Inventory Transfers
While other Transactions Types in Striven will add or remove Serial Numbers depending on the nature of the Transaction, the Inventory Transfer feature is taking the existing Serial Numbers in Striven and allowing users to move the specific Item from one location to another. Once the Qty to Transfer column has been updated to a positive number, the Serial Number icon can be utilized next to the Item’s name.
Example of the Serial Number Icon on an Inventory Transfer
