RF Scanning

• RF UPC/GTIN Code Associations

  UPC Codes:

  UPC barcodes can be scanned throughout the system in any RF item input field prompt, in lieu of manually typing in the item number.  UPC codes must be associated first, with their respective item number in order to use the UPC barcodes for scanning. 
  
  Ex: Picking
  
  
  
  

  GTIN Codes:

  GTIN barcodes can be scanned throughout the system in any RF item input field prompt, in lieu of manually typing in the item number and subsequent information. 
  
  Any information contained within the barcode including the item number, lot etc. will preload accordingly as well.  GTIN codes must be associated first, with their respective item number in order to use the GTIN barcodes for scanning this information.  
  
  Ex: Picking
  
  
  
  GTIN barcodes can also be scanned to take catch weights.  While associating the GTIN with the item code is not necessary in this instance, it is recommended.  
  
  Note: If an item has gtin/upc codes associated, the system will automatically prevent scanning gtin/upc etc. codes that differ from what is currently associated.  If an additional gtin/upc etc. code is valid and is to be scanned, then it must be associated to the item before proceeding to scan.  
  
  

  
  Associating UPC/GTIN Codes:
  
  1. Go to the RF Menu and click on the Barcode Association Sub-Menu 
  
  
  
  2. Enter the item number 
  
  
  
  3. Scan the UPC or GTIN barcode and click the Next Step Button to save the entry
  
  
  
  

• Barcode Formats

  Both GS1-128(GTIN) and UPC barcode formats are supported for scanning, and can be associated and scanned for items in inventory. 
  
  Custom barcode format support is also available upon request.
  
  
  User Profile Default Barcode Format: Select a specific barcode format to be the default for each user.    
  
  Note: As barcode formats are switched, the current format will override user level defaults for future scanning processes unless manually changed. 
  
  
  
  
  Company Default Barcode Format: If a user does not have a default barcode selected, the company default will take effect.  
  
  *Contact I.T for any changes.  
  
  
  
  
  Switching Barcode Formats During Scanning: When scanning, easily switch between barcode formats.   
  
  Note: As barcode formats are switched, the current format will remain and override any company/user level defaults for future scanning processes unless manually changed.  
  
  1. Use the Formats button located on any scanning supported RF screen to switch the current barcode format
  
  
  
  2. Click the Check Icon to select a different format 
  
  
  
  3. You are now ready to scan UPC Codes 
  
  
  
  
  *Please contact I.T. if you'd like to have additional barcode formats supported for your organization.  

• Scanning Features
  Warning Messages: Avoid scanning mistakes with our pop-up warning messages that detect duplicate scans, mismatched item codes and weights outside of a certain margin of error.    
  
  Note: A serial # or other unique identifier must be present within the barcode to prevent duplicate scans. Otherwise, a warning will be issued if identical weights are detected, and the barcode must be re-scanned to confirm.  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Ignore Lot: Check this checkbox to ignore vendor lot numbers as you scan weights onto pallets, and maintain your own internal lot numbers instead.  
  
  Note: Contact I.T. to check this by default 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Override Lot#: Enter your own internal lot numbers when moving or picking cases to bypass vendor lot numbers when scanning
