STEP 03

Generate QR Code & Assign QR Template

After creating the inventory item, LiquidationRoute automatically generates an Inventory ID and unique QR Code.

Use the Print QR PDF option to print labels formatted with item QR code, titles, and storage paths.
Attach the printed QR label directly to the physical piece of inventory or packaging before assigning storage.
