Scan Station
Scan a barcode to look up, receive, deliver, remove or move stock.
Overview
The Scan Station is a screen built for a handheld scanner, a camera or typing. It reads product barcodes, QR codes, GS1 codes, box codes and lot numbers and answers what the code is. From there you can receive stock, deliver it, remove it or move it between bins. A box code shows its position, and scanning a lot lists its boxes.
Stock moved by scanning is posted through the same stock documents as any other movement, so it appears in the stock ledger. Where two-person approval is on for receipts or deliveries, scanning cannot be used to bypass it.
When to use scan station
