Add items in purchase receipts using barcode scanner

You can use barcode scanning to effectively receive products at a warehouse. From the Purchase receipts (PO302000) window, you can invoke the Add line dialogue, where you scan a product barcode, the system finds the item record, brings up the item information, and adds a new line to the receipt.

  1. Go to the Purchase receipts (PO302000) window.

  2. Click to add a new receipt and select a supplier.

  3. Click Add line.
  4. Add the bar code to the Barcode field with a scanner or enter it manually.

To use the dialogue for barcode scanning, make sure the Add line automatically option is selected. Then, once the fields in the dialogue are filled in, the system creates a new line automatically.

If you select the Add one unit per barcode check box in the dialogue, each time you scan a barcode, the item quantity for the receipt will be increased by one unit.

If you clear the check box when an item barcode is scanned, the system searches the purchase order that matches the supplier and item ID associated with the barcode. Then the system inserts the quantity of the item from the purchase order. If no such order is found, the system inserts one unit.
