Bar code shipment numbers on picking lists

Former Member

Dear All,

I want to add Bar code to shipment numbers on picking lists so warehouse/shippers can scan the bar code instead of type in the number. This would really save time on UPS shipments. Currently the warehouse/shippers have to type each UPS shipment number twice (one time to confirm pick and one time to print packing list). Since there are 50 - 100 UPS shipments daily, a lot of time could be saved with scanning the shipment number instead of keying.

What can be the resolution for this? Can this be automated at the configuration level?

Or can it be done through the help of coding? Any ideas on this issue?

Advises are welcome.

Regards,

Hi,

If you are printing the Picking List you can print the particular field using BARCODE font with the help of SMARTFORMS.

The t.o. confirmation can be automatic at the time of t.o. creation (autoconfirm) if you desire and/or you could make the print output to trigger at time of t.o. confirmation.

Another option would be to paste the shipment numbers into an excel file and convert the numbers to bar code for scanning.

You can get a very popular bar code "font" (3 of 9 barcode) free online and use it just like any other font in excel.
