Can I use the USB scanner to add items to a purchasing document?
Yes! The
Unitech USB scanner sold in the Yellow Dog
webstore can be used to add items to any purchasing document. Additionally, items scanned into Recipes, Physicals, Manual Adjustments, & Manual Sales.
The
out of the box configuration will allow items to be scanned into a purchasing document,
but users must select ‘Add Line Items’ within the purchasing document editor first
to open the item look up screen. They can then scan an item barcode in place of
searching and the item will be added to the purchasing document.

Alternatively,
users can configure the scanner to add items directly to the purchasing document
bypassing the need to select Add Line Items. This configuration will
automatically open the item look up screen, look up the item and add it to the
document.
To configure
the scanner to directly add items to a purchasing document print and scan the
barcodes attached below. Start with 1
Enter/Exit Configuration mode, and scan in sequential order through to 12 Exit configuration
mode.
If you want
to undo this configuration option, scan the Reset to Defaults barcode listed at
the top of the page.
