Many retailers are expecting the ability to create a new transfer order (or counting journal), and just continuously scan items into the order. The existing workflow contains multiple steps which are unnecessary, time consuming and add's room for error by operators. Existing workflow; Create transfer order (using dialog) details screen opens, with 'Add product' dialog open Scan or enter item number Specify quantity (dialog is now closed) Click 'Add' button to add another item repeat steps above. The idea workflow would be: Create transfer order (using dialog) details screen opens, with 'Add product' dialog open Scan or enter item number (Default qty of 1 assumed as it was scanned) 'Add product' dialog remains open ready for next scan Once all items added, user clicks 'close' button on dialog, to indicate no more items to add. As some customer may want the prompt to specify quantity, the defaulting to 1 should be a parameter (i.e. new checkbox on functionality profile 'Prompt for quantity on stock management functions') N.B. - This has already been suggested to the team directly.

  • Thanks for the updated comment Holly - The new screens are much better and 'scanning optimised' which is fantastic. Thanks for all your hardwork.
