Input/Scanning

First Scan of an action is...

This option basically flips around the standard sequence of information on the screens if information can be looked-up from one of the listed fields.

Default Information/Field

Use the standard sequence of each module.

Serial Number

Serial first-- for this selection, for example, some companies enable determining the stock code and/or bin number from serial number, thus making this choice the logical first scan action.

Lot Number

Bin

This option causes the bin to be the first scan action, if selected.

Case Sensitivity

Do not change inputs

If selected, upper, lower, and mixed-case scanned text entries will be taken as received by the handheld device without change.

Change all input to upper case

If selected, all scans will be converted to upper case by the handheld solution before further processing.

Remove non-digits from quantity fields

If enabled, any non-numeric entry into a quantity field will be ignored.

Note:  if this option is NOT selected, a scanned field containing a non-digit will be displayed in the quantity field and subsequently, the field will turn red indicating an error.

If bin cross-reference is active...

If a list of valid bins is downloaded into the handhelds, this option determines what is allowed by the operator when the handheld receives a bin that is not on the list is entered.

WARNING:  once ANY bins are downloaded to the handhelds, this validation is enabled;  if "update bins" is enabled on the update screen and if bins where added, then the handhelds will be updated with the new bins.

Note:  the handheld solution will use either the SYSPRO Warehouse Management bin table OR the Cross-Reference bin table to provide a list of valid bins to the handhelds;  entering new bins in SYSPRO may affect the handheld devices depending on how the following options are selected.

Allow operator to accept non-matched bins

If the bin received is not a valid bin, the operator can indicate it is a valid bin and ignore the warning.

Do not allow operator to enter non-matched bins

If the bin received is not a valid bin, the operator cannot override it.

Scan into...

When a scan is done by the handheld device, this option determines precisely where that scan data should be placed.

Note:  this option is only available on handheld devices using the advanced scan interface (currently, only Motorola/Symbol) since the standard scan interface does not distinguish between scanned entry or keyboard entry

Current field

If selected, the scanned data is placed in the current field where the cursor is positioned.

First empty field

If selected, the scanned data is inserted into the first empty input field found.
