# Barcode Settings

Barcode settings are used to create reusable templates that can be used in the implementation in your business processes. Instead of making all settings in AL Code, they can be made in an intuitive and user-friendly interface and referenced in AL Code for the corresponding barcode setting only via the **code**.
