When to Use This Method
This method is best if you need item-level traceability — meaning each box, roll, or piece has its own unique QR code and can be tracked separately.
✅ Perfect for businesses that scan items individually
✅ Ideal if you need accountability for which item was used where
✅ Supports industries with compliance or box/roll-level tracking needs
Step 1: Create the Base Item
- Go to your Sortly inventory.
- Create a new item (example: Box of Work Gloves).
- Set the Unit of Measure to Box, Roll, or whatever matches your item.
Step 2: Clone the Item for Each Individual Piece
- Select the base item.
- Click Clone.
-
Toggle “Generate unique SID for each clone.”
- This gives each clone its own unique identifier in Sortly.
- Repeat for however many items you received.
Because the clone(s) will have different SIDs, the QR code(s) will also be unique:
