Can You Change The Upc Length


Recommended Posts

Nate, the standard length for a real UPC code is 12.

 

To make the field longer you will need to open the MySQL table and modify the field length. The correct table depends on which type of in

 

Preferences  > Products
 
Enable stock management and/or Enable advanced-stock management
 
Some of the tables are ps_product_attribute and ps_stock - There may be more.

Hi Bill Dalton

 

I don't know why this suppler has UPC codes longer thing 12 numbers. I was Enable stock management and Enable advanced-stock management. Where can I find how to open the MySQL table and open ps_product_attribute and ps_stock?

 

Thanks

Nat

You will need to check with your host. They should have a program available for you to edit your MySQL table.

 

Can you not use the Reference field, or create a new field in Features? 

 

 

Hi Bill,

 

Yes the program is called phpMyAdmin.  but do you know how I would be able to edit it from there. I can create a new field in Features if needed.

Natebc, using an existing field or creating a new field in Catalog  > Products  > Edit > Features would be best if you do not know how to edit your database.

 

 

Yes I'm going to use the Features to create UPC.

 

Thanks for your help
