In order to ensure the highest possible picking accuracy, Mintsoft can support barcode-verified picking at a pack station. This can be used either in isolation or in conjunction with mobile picking as a double verification process. This will allow you to verify the correct products are being picked and packed for the customer. However, not all products or all client's products are barcoded, so you can enable this setting on a per-client basis.
Prerequisite - Enabling roles
To set up Barcode Verification Rules, you first need to enable the Warehouse User Permission by following the steps below:
Click Settings then Warehouse User Accounts.
Find the user.
Click Actions then Manage roles.
Expand the Picking-Super role group.
Tick AdminBarcodeVerificationRule then click update.
You may need to log out and log back in for it to take effect.
Setting up Barcode Verification
To enable barcode picking, please do the following:
Click Picking & Packing then Overview.
Next, click Manage Barcode Verification Rules.
(3PL Only) Select the Client.
Choose the Channel.
Enter a value in the Order Value Above field.
If you enter 0.00 this would include all orders for that client.
If you didn't want to scan low-value orders, you could set this as 10.00 for example.
Choose whether to Double Verify or not.
Finally, click Create.
Barcode Verification history
Once an order has had items barcode verified, they will appear on the History of the order. You can view the barcode verification history of an order in multiple places:
Click Orders then Overview.
Search for the order.
Click Actions then Details.
Click the History tab.
Then you have three sub-tabs.
Timeline: Shows a visual timeline of the changes/ steps taken with the order, including any items that were verified by scanning or manually.
Comments: Shows a text list of all changes/ steps taken with the order, including any items that were verified by scanning or manually.
Barcode Verification: Shows a list of each item verified, along with the Quantity, If it was Manually Confirmed, Barcode, Batch and Serial Number, Expiry Date, Box Number and if it was verified on the Mobile App.
What data can be barcoded?
There are four barcode data validations possible:
SKU.
Product ID.
EAN.
UPC.
SKU and Product ID barcode scanning will not require any extra information to be populated against the products. EAN and UPC validations will require you to enter this info against the products, either manually, or in bulk.
