Streamline Inventory Picking with Enhanced SKU Scanning Options

A new screen parameter 'item-barcode-scan' is introduced which offers two configurable options: 'Prompt SKU' and 'Scan each SKU'. This feature adds flexibility by enabling different modes of handling SKU scans and quantity updates. When the parameter is left blank or set to 'Prompt SKU', the system behaves as it does currently. In this mode, you scan the SKU and manually enter the quantity. This familiar approach ensures that you can directly control the quantity entry after each scan.

However, when the parameter is set to ‘Scan each SKU’, the process becomes more streamlined and detailed. Each scan of an item increments the quantity automatically, removing the need for manual entry after each scan. For example, if you scan an item three times, the system will update the quantity to 3 in real time, accurately reflecting the number of scans. This approach ensures precise quantity tracking while simplifying the workflow.

The system also ensures inventory accuracy by updating quantities dynamically during the scanning process. Additionally, it prevents over-picking errors by displaying an error message, "Overpack not allowed," if you attempt to pick more items than required.
