We receive items on purchase orders by scanning our vendors UPCs. When we do this, we have one person do the UPC scanning and another person watching the computer screen to make sure each item goes in okay. Not the most efficient system. Is there anything we can do to have the computer give some sort of audible warning if the UPC isn't recognized or the item wasn't on the purchase order?
not a total solution but scanners can be programmed to allow only certain types of barcodes. this may help. not sure about the pc end because I don't use rms.
The following was designed based on input from retailers like you. With
2B-Inventory for RMS/POS (handheld add-on), you can receive items with the following functionality:
If the item code exists, it will receive with no promt and associates it to an existing PO
If the item code does not exist, you can add it as an alias to an existing item and it will associate it to an existing PO. This can all be done from the receiving screen.
During the PO reconciliation step on the handheld, you see a list of items that you received and the associated PO. If the item exists on multiple POs, you are prompted to choose which PO you would like to receive the item against. You also have the option of receiving new items and associating that item with an existing PO.
