The following options are found in the Setup menu. You must be a member of the Administrators Role in order to access the Setup Menu. Click Setup, then Smart Scan.
Using Smart Scan, SYSPRO Mobile Warehouse can be configured to read barcodes containing multiple pieces of data. The data in the barcodes is parsed into separate data elements and is placed in the appropriate on-screen fields within SYSPRO Mobile Warehouse. Each module within SYSPRO Mobile Warehouse can be configured to use or not use Smart Scan and can also be configured to use different Smart Scan Formats per module.
The Smart Scan Label Formats screen is used to Add, Edit or Delete Smart Scan Formats.
You can search for an existing Smart Scan Format using the Search box. You can also click the column headings to sort the list by that column. Click the 3 dots icon to add a Filter to the grid to narrow the list of Smart Scan Formats to a more defined scope.
Adding a Smart Scan Format
Click the Add Format button to add a new Smart Scan Format. See Editing a Smart Scan Format below for a description of the available settings.
Editing a Smart Scan Format
Name - Provide a Name for the Smart Scan Format.
Description - Provide the Smart Scan Format's Description.
Type -
- Sequential - Choose Sequential if your data is always in the same order and data elements are always in the same position. For example, Stock Code is always the first data element and Bin is always the second data element in your barcode. Example data may look like this: A100,E.
- Prefix - Choose Prefix if your data elements are prefixed by a specific string. For example, the Stock Code data is prefixed with "STK:" and Bin is prefixed with "B:". Example data may look like this: B:E,STK:A100. Using Prefix means the data elements can be in any order within the barcode.
Delimiter - Enter the Delimiter used to separate data elements within your barcode. In our previous example of A100,E the delimiter is a comma. If you don't use Delimiters, you must use fixed length data, in that case leave this field blank.
Date Format - This is only required if your barcode contains a date value. Enter the format that your date is in within the barcode.
Header - If the beginning of your barcode contains data that is irrelevant to SYSPRO Mobile Warehouse, enter that data here. SYSPRO Mobile Warehouse will ignore this data when trying to parse your barcode.
Trailer - If the end of your barcode contains data that is irrelevant to SYSPRO Mobile Warehouse, enter that data here. SYSPRO Mobile Warehouse will ignore this data when trying to parse your barcode.
Automatically Post After Scan - Check this box to have SYSPRO Mobile Warehouse automatically Post the transaction after the Smart Scan has taken place.
Prefix - If the data element you're adding contains a Prefix value that needs to be removed from the data, enter that Prefix value here. For example, if your Stock Code is formated as STK:A100, enter STK: here.
Default - If the barcode contains no data for the Field you're adding, SYSPRO Mobile Warehouse will use this Default value instead when filling the on-screen field.
Field - Select the Field from the list. If you're using the Sequential Type on the General Information tab, be sure to add the data elements in the correct order.
Character Count - If you're not using a Delimiter on the General Information tab, you must have your data formatted as fixed length. Provide the length (number of characters) for this Field.
