Purpose: In Inventory App the item barcode can be generated with a number generator. To select a number generator sequence in the UI of the Inventory App in create and edit mode a button needs to be displayed close to the item barcode field on item level.

User story statement(s):

As a staff person I want to assign an item barcode in the create view in the Inventory App by using the number generator and the number generator sequences defined by my Institution in Settings > Service interaction > Number generator sequences. In edit view I would like to change or add to the item barcode, if enabled by the settings.
