Multiple barcodes for single item

[jhildenburg]

I would like to be able to add multiple UPC codes to the same item.  My vendor provides for me essentially the same item, but they have different UPC barcodes on them. (Different manufactures).  I don't care to track the differences. I want to be able to sell them all as simply Item X.  

I know you can use variations, but I don't want to have 5 different variations that I have to track separately.  I don't want to have to change the price on 5 different variations.

I understand the benefit of variations and if I did want to track the differences between the specific versions, I would understand using them, but in my case one item with all the different UPC codes linked to it would be better.  The previous POS system I moved away from had the ability to add "aliases" to the item that the barcode scanner could pick up on and enter into the sales screen.

This is exactly what I came here to say!! I agree. It would be so useful!
