Barcode Receiving is similar to normal Receiving in that you verify what Materials have been Shipped to your Warehouse, but it is done strictly by scanning Barcodes.
Overview
Receiving is the process in which you confirm a specific Shipment's contents, assign that Inventory to License Plates, and enter them into your system. The Receiving section is where you will search for Receiving Tasks and execute them, confirming details about the Tasks such as Quantity and Lots.
Before you are able to Receive by Barcode, you will need to have set up Barcode Definitions.
