Remote PO Creation Add-on

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I am looking for add-on which can create PO by scanning items remotely (through LAN). Also, if the same add-on can perform the physical inventory count remotely would be great but not really needed. The Add-on should work either on Android or Windows Tablets/PC platform. Please list your contact information and I will contact you.

    RE: Remote PO Creation Add-on

    Thank you Pappu for your post. it's very helpful.

    I believe this will work with only one scanner, right?

    in our case, the number of items is high, so we use multiple scanners. what do you recommend?

    Details are probably something like this:

    1. Search Amazon or eBay for "bluetooth scanner". Examples:

    www.amazon.com/.../ref=sr_1_3;qid=1408563881&sr=8-3&keywords=Motorola+CS3000

    www.amazon.com/.../ref=sr_1_4;qid=1408563881&sr=8-4&keywords=Motorola+CS3000

    www.amazon.com/.../ref=sr_1_4;qid=1408563811&sr=8-4&keywords=bluetooth+scanner

    2. Add a Windows based tablet. Example:

    www.amazon.com/.../ref=sr_1_3;qid=undefined&sr=8-3&keywords=dell+venue+8

    3. Install Microsoft RMS on the tablet.

    Run Store Operations Manager, Inventory, Physical Inventory or Purchase Orders.

    Use the bluetooth scanner to add items to worksheets or PO's.

    Any Windows 7 or 8 tablet with full version of Windows should work, not RT.

    A USB port model would also work with a standard scanner if you don't mind the cord.

    Make sure your wireless network is accessible everywhere in the store including stock rooms.

    Lynn,

    Yes it also works for physical inventory same way it works for PO creation. The solution I described above may cost you up to $500 mainly for the devices since there is no need for add-on. You can use RMS function directly. If you are interested, please drop your email and I will explain in detail OR I can post answer here in the forum.

    Would be interested in what you found out regarding physical inventories.  I've been using an add-on which isn't syncing and have been looking at alternative add-on softwares.  Would love to find an alternate solution that doesn't cost me anything.

    Update: I have configured the setup as I described above and it works like a charm. No need to spend money on add-on since there isn't exist one. If anyone is interested to have more info, I will provide in this thread. Thanks to all again who would wanted to help.

    RE: Remote PO Creation Add-on

    I have question. Could anyone please help me o this?

    For the remote PO creation, if I use,

    1. the Windows 8.1 Tablet, install the SO Manager, and
    2. Buy portable Bluetooth scanner (UniTech MS912) which is paired with Tablet
    3. then use the SO manger for PO creation where you can add the item in the PO manually (i.e., Using the Portable Scanner attached to Tablet)

    Would this work conveniently for PO creation while you mobilize in the store to scan items to create a PO? If this works, then same way we can the the physical inventory too (e.g., 1 person in 1 store at a time). This will eliminate the need for any add-on, I guess. Any response would be appreciated.

    Thanks..

    I think the add-on should work on mobile PC had held scanners. I have not received any feedback so there is none I guess.
