Add products to the stock​

To add a new product to the stock at a specific location, you can scan the data matrix of the location, then scan the data matrix of the product. The product will be added to the stock at the location.

Important

It is important to place the mouse cursor on the input field scan before scanning the data matrix. Also, make sure of the following:

  • The scanner is configured with the correct keyboard type (azerty, qwerty, etc).
  • The scanner is configured to send a Enter key after scanning the data matrix.

Once the location and the products' data matrix are scanned, the product will be added to the stock at the location and will appear in the table on the middle panel.

The table below will show the list of labels that will be printed.

Update the stock​

The saved products can be updated by selecting the corresponding status and scanning the data matrix of the product. The location will not matter since the product is already in the stock.
