Table Of Contents
1. Overview
An additional option has been added to the Stock screen to allow launching a new "Print Labels via Scan" dialog.
2. Specification
The new Print Labels via Scan dialog will have the following controls:
- A "Design" dropdown to allow selecting the label template (defaults to first template, sorted alphanumerically)
- A "Label Qty" textbox to allow entering a quantity (defaults to 1)
- A "Scan Code" textbox to allow entering or scanning a stock code or barcode
- A "Lookup" button to allow looking up a stock item manually
- A "Reset" button to allow resetting the contents of the dialog
- "Print Immediately" & "Batch Mode" toggles allowing scanning of a single barcode or multiple
3. Configuration
An update and a changelog will be applied as part of this development.
Stock label designs are sourced from [System Operations | Basic Report Labels Setup | Label: Stock]
The following article provides Basic reports overview: /article/basic-reports/
4. Usage
After applying the above Configuration, typical steps for usage would include:
- Within the stock list access the new dialog via Other Actions(F9) > Print > Print Labels via Scan.
- A template can be selected from the Design dropdown (configured in Basic Report Labels Setup). Defaults to the first in the list alphabetically.
- Label Qty sets the quantity of labels to print for the code next scanned in. Defaults to 1 (Note: Value does not reset between scans when in Batch mode).
- The dialog focus will default to the Scan field. Entering either a Stock Code or Stock Barcode will either print that label, or add the item to the batch list (depending on toggle set).
- Lookup will open a stock lookup table for manual selection.
- The toggle Print Immediately will move to the printer selection as soon as a code is scanned or item is chosen from the lookup table.
- The toggle Batch Mode will add scanned items to the batch grid, additional Stock items can be scanned in. The Qty can be set via the Label Qty field prior to scanning, or after scanning within the batch grid. Pressing Print will move the batch to the print stage
