When using a barcode scanner - first do this Setting up Barcode Scanners
- Now the system is watching the barcode scanner you have attached and will put anything it sends into a barcode lookup field on the screen
Barcodes are used to quickly find transactions
- Scan of a stock article to find the article
- Article screen to lookup the SKU
- Stock Counting
- Stock Receipting
- Stock Adjusting
- etc
- Scan of a repair barcode to find the repair
- Scan of a faulty sticker barcode to find the faulty claim
- Scan of a POS receipt barcode to find the order and customer
The system uses information in the barcode to determine what to lookup.
