# Printing Batch Numbers from a Stock Level Adjustment

Printing a label for an item that is tracked using batch numbers is different from printing a label for a standard inventory item.

In order to print a label where the barcode will have the batch number you will need to print this label from the Stock Journal History.

<span style="color: rgb(45, 194, 107);">**Inventory Module &gt; Analysis &gt; Stock Journal Batches**</span>

As shown below these were 2 separate bulk stock level adjustments that brought in stock with batch numbers.
