RMS should be able to handle multiple serial numbers easier.

Oct 18, 2006 4 Replies

When you have to enter many serial numbers , either to take itmes into stock , transfer stock from store to store or even sell, it is not very fast . I think simply if when you scan a serial the code just places a tab or enter so the cursor will automatically move to the next line . In this way the scanning process will be much much faster .

That is generally something you can configure on the scanner side. I would peruse that documentation to see how you can send a after the scan.

I agree that the ability to scan a serial number and have the focus move automatically to the next line would be nice. I just installed RMS in 3 cell phone stores where we do not use a back office server. One of the POS terminals also functions as the server. When they are receiving cell phones they are holding the box or cell phone with their left hand, the scanner is in the right hand. They scan the barcode, set the box down or the cell phone down, move the scanner from the right to the left hand, use the mouse with the right hand to click on "Add", then move the scanner back to the right hand and pick up the box or cell phone with the left hand and repeat the process. This is probably something the RMS software guys think is a small thing or maybe they do not think of it at all, until they are in the field in a "live" environment.

I ALSO AGREE BUT TRY THIS SET YOUR SCANNER TO ENTER 3 TABS AS A SUFFEXS THEN IN THE PO RECIEVE SCREEN ENTER THE AMOUNT OF SERIALIZED ITEMS TO BE RECEIVED EX: 5 THEN CLICK ON THE SERIAL ADD BOX ... HERE YOU CAN SCAN THE SERIAL NUMBERS AND HAVE THE SCANNER ENTER THE 3 TABS AND YOU CAN SCAN THE NEXT ONE IN I SET THIS UP ON A STATION THAT IS USED FOR RECIEVING CEL PHINE PREPAID CARDS ALL SERIALIZED ITEMS HOPE THIS HELPS
