Using the Scanner to Enter Data

Important:

NetSuite 2021.1 discontinued the advanced manufacturing scanner. NetSuite will not accept new account provisions or installations. Existing installations can continue to use the scanner without any change in functionality. To continue reporting shop floor data using a scanner, contact your account manage, and see Manufacturing Mobile Overview.

The Advanced Manufacturing SuiteApp lets you launch the scanner feature after you log in to NetSuite using a Data Scanner role.

Use barcode scanning devices that read web forms to collect production data described in the following topics:

• Tracking Production Results

• Recording Material Loss

• Recording Downtime

• Recording Labor

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

NetSuite Advanced Manufacturing only supports the Data Scanner role and does not support two-factor authentication accounts. Customers working in other user roles may experience two-factor authentication errors. See Using 2FA

To launch the scanner from outside NetSuite, set the Data Scanner role as the default status. See Setting Role-Based Preferences.

To use the scanner to enter data:

1. Go to Advanced Manufacturing > Scanner Data Entry > Scanner (Login).

   Alternatively, work with your administrator to bookmark the scanner interface URL in your device to avoid having to first access NetSuite.

2. Enter your Email address and Password.

3. Tap or click Login.

4. Select one of the following actions:

   • Manufacturing Action

   • Inventory Action

   • Shipping Action

   Note:

   Express Production and LPN Actions are not default features. Contact your NetSuite Administrator for more information.
