Scanning configuration

Introduction

Users can define whether scanning of items and/or locations is mandatory during picking. In addition, the order in which both must be scanned can be defined. The scanning rules can be defined for each line item within the order / picking task, for each listing separately or in general for the whole tenant.

It is also possible to skip scanning rules completely with certain roles (Administrator, Supervisor).

Overview of Scanning Configurations

There following configurations are currently available:

Configuration	Values	Impact
PickingScanCodeValidationConfiguration	CODE_MUST_BE_KNOWN Default if not defined otherwise	When scanning, it is checked if the scanned barcode matches the defined scannable codes. If it matches: A snackbar (scan was successful) is shown Picked amount is increased If is does not match: A snackbar (scan not successful) is shown Picked amount is not increased
PickingScanCodeValidationConfiguration	NO_VALIDATION	When scanning, it is not checked if the scanned barcode matches the defined scannable codes. Every scan (in the picking detail view) of any barcode results in: Increasing the picked amount by 1 No snackbar (scan successful or not) is shown
PickingScanningConfiguration	MUST_SCAN_FIRST	Before being able to manually increase the picked amount in the client, a scan of the item must be performed. Otherwise it is not possible to use the + and - buttons to change the picked amount of the item.
PickingScanningConfiguration	SCAN_NOT_REQUIRED Default if not defined otherwise	It is possible to use the + and - buttons to change the picked amount of the item without scanning the item beforehand.
PickingScanningConfiguration	MUST_SCAN_EACH	Each item must be scanned individually and cannot be picked manually.
scanningRule	ARTICLE ONLY {"scanningRuleType": "ARTICLE", "priority": 0} LOCATION ONLY {"scanningRuleType": "LOCATION", "priority": 0} ARTICLE THEN LOCATION {"scanningRuleType": "ARTICLE", "priority": 0}{"scanningRuleType": "LOCATION", "priority": 1}	Configure which scannable codes should be scanned in which priority Set via picking config: tenant wide configurations when Set via facility: overrules picking config and rule applies only for this specific facility Set via listing: overrules picking and facility config and applies only for this specific listing. Configure which scannable codes should be scanned in which priority (lowest must be scanned first) If the "LOCATION ONLY" option is selected, the storage locations must be type "Single Storage Location" and should exclusively contain one type of product. Otherwise, scanning the location for picking purposes may not yield successful results.
rolesWithOverwritingScanningPermission	"ADMINISTRATOR", "SUPERVISOR"	When this configuration is set, the scanning rules are skipped entirely for those user roles. This means that a Supervisor or Administrator is able to pick items without scanning at all by using the manual input option while picking.

Additional information:

• If the scanningRule is not specified, the default rule is set to "ARTICLE ONLY."

• If both MUST_SCAN_EACH and "ARTICLE" are selected, and the scanning option "LOCATION" is chosen, the location must be scanned only once, while the article can be scanned multiple times for the specified item as needed.

• If either MUST_SCAN_FIRST or MUST_SCAN_EACH is active, and the scanning option is set to "LOCATION ONLY," each scan of the location contributes to the cumulative total of the chosen amount.
