Mobile App: GS1 Barcodes
Today we have pushed an update to the app (available via the 'update now' banner when opening the app) that introduces a new settings page: GS1 Barcodes.
Enabling this setting allows GS1 barcodes to be scanned, with which we will compare the GTIN against the Order items' barcode field. If there is a match in the order you are picking, we will update the quantity picked based on the quantity stored in the GS1, and if you choose, we will capture and tag orders with:
- Serial number
- Batch number
- Expiration Date
- SSCC
If you attempt to pick the same GS1 in an order, you will receive an error letting you know that GS1 was already scanned.
If you attempt to pick a previously picked GS1, you will receive an error letting you know that GS1 has already been picked.
Please let us know how you get on and if there are any issues, or any additional enhancements to make.
