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.
