Main Screen Scans

Main Screen Scans

The Main Screen Scan on the iOS/Android mobile devices is a feature that allows a user to scan an item, bin, or license plate from the home screen of the device which will display all inventory for the scanned location or Item. The information includes item number, item description, core value (lot, date or serial number), quantity, primary and secondary bin locations, and an indication if the item is on hold. This functionality can be very useful for all users, including the management team within the warehouse.

An example of when this could be used is if you were walking in your warehouse, and you noticed a pallet of product sitting in the middle of the aisle. You would like to see where this inventory belongs. So, you would scan the license plate to discover the bin location where the inventory digitally resides. 

By using the Main Screen Scan on your iOS device to scan the bin label, it will show all items and quantities in that bin. If you scan an LP, it should show all the items on the LP. If you scan an item or item/lot barcode, you can see exactly where all the inventory for that item is located. If you scan an order label, the user will be brought into the pick or PO details page to begin picking or receiving against an order.

Main Screen Scan Swipe

On the iOS/Android device, if you perform a main screen scan and swipe from the right to left, as shown below, the user will see a banner with several different options:

History – 

Allows the user to see the history of the selected item or LP.

Count – 

Allows the user to generate a cycle count for the selected item. This count will still need to be assigned to a user, via the Web Console.

Acquire Barcode – 

Allows the user to assign an alternate barcode/UPC to an item.

Adjust – 

This button is security-based and will only be visible if the logged-in user has access to inventory adjustments. This allows the user to do an inventory adjustment of the selected item.

Print Label –

This will allow the user to print a label for the selected Item or LP.

Move - 

This will allow the user to move an item to a different location via the main screen scan.
