Processing Orders Using Bar Codes
Warehouse managers can process individual orders quickly using bar code scanning. Bar code scanning enables you to process an order quickly with minimal keyboard input.
To process an individual order:
-
Logged in using a warehouse role, go to Shipping > Shipping > Process Individual Order.
-
On the Process Order page:
-
The cursor defaults to the order number field.
-
The transaction selected defaults to the last process selected on this page.
-
-
If the default selection is not the transaction you want to process for this order, select a transaction.
Choose from the following transactions:
-
Print Picking Ticket
-
Fulfill Order
-
Print Packing Slip
-
Print Label
-
Mark Packed
-
Mark Shipped
-
-
Scan the bar code of the order number you want to process, or enter the order number manually in the order number field.
-
Click Submit.
When you click Submit, the transaction opens with the information for the order number filled in.
-
Complete the transaction.
For information about transactions, see Working with Transactions.
Some scanner software can be programmed to automatically click Submit after each scan. Check the manual for your scanner hardware for more information. If your scanner automatically submits, it opens the selected transaction. It is important that you verify the type of transaction selected before scanning the order bar code.
When using bar codes, you can set preferences to assist in scanning bar codes to receive and fulfill items. For more information about the Default Items to Zero Received/Fulfilled and Scan Individual Items preferences, see Accounting Preferences.
