Allocating Items Using Barcodes in OnRent Go
In OnRent Go, you can allocate items to orders that are in the Reserved status. Items can only be allocated while an order is reserved, as they have not yet been picked, delivered, or booked out.
If barcode scanning is not used:
For serialised items, manually select the required item from the list of available items.
For bulk items, enter the quantity you want to allocate.
Using Barcode Scanning
The allocation screen supports barcode scanning. The following barcode types are recognised:
Product code (bulk items)
Item number (serialised items)
Barcode number (serialised items)
There are two ways to scan barcodes:
Option 1: USB or Wireless Barcode Scanner
Connect a USB or wireless barcode scanner to your computer.
Open the allocation screen.
Scan the barcode to allocate the matching item.
Option 2: Phone or Tablet Camera
On your phone or tablet, open the required order item.
Select Actions.
Tap the Camera button to start scanning.
Scan the barcode to allocate the item.
Printing Barcodes
Printing barcodes is not currently supported in OnRent Go. However, you can use a variety of third-party websites or apps to generate and print barcode labels.
If required, you can export your stock data to create barcodes externally, then import the updated file to populate or update barcode numbers in OnRent Go.

Good to know
Camera scanning works on most modern devices and browsers. For the widest barcode support and best results, we recommend using an up-to-date version of Chrome, Edge, or Safari.
Barcode reliability can vary by device and browser. Some browsers support every type listed above, while others may only recognise the most common ones (such as Code 128, Code 39, and EAN-13). If a particular barcode won't scan, try a different device or browser, or use a hardware scanner.
Hardware barcode scanners (USB or Bluetooth) can also be used. These aren't limited to the list above - any barcode your physical scanner can read will work, as it simply enters the barcode value into the scan field for you.
What gets matched: A scanned barcode is matched against the item's serial number, item number, barcode, or code to find and allocate the right stock.
