Handheld Scanning Lot/Serial No. for Cycle Counts

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by NAV2BC02 124
Is there a good solution out there that would allow users to scan lot/serial numbers easily during cycle count instead of item first then Item Tracking Lines?
 
Think of scanning individual bags which has single screw with a lot number QR code on the bag.  User is scanning each bag with lot number and at the end of scanning, system tallys total qty in that lot.
 
Ideas?

    @Valentin Castravet, Insight works advanced count does not behave this way.  Unfortunately.

    Hi,
    Yes, this is doable. Tasklet Mobile WMS is a solid pick. You hand the worker a scanner, they beep the QR/GS1 code on each bag (which has the lot number), and the app just keeps adding 1 to that lot. When they’re done, it sends the total back to Business Central with the lot on the tracking lines—no fiddling with “item first, then tracking lines” on the handheld.
    How you’d set it up (simple):
    1. Put proper data in the code on the bag
      • At minimum: the item (GTIN) and the Lot/Batch.
      • If every bag = 1 piece, you’re done. If a bag can be, say, 25 pieces, include quantity so one scan adds 25.
    2. In Tasklet, use the Count flow
      • Tell it how to read the barcode (which part is lot, which is qty).
      • Turn on “increment by scan” so each scan tallies into the right lot.
    3. Post the count
      • The totals land in the Phys. Inventory (or Whse. Phys. Inventory) journal with the lot/serial lines already filled out.
    Good alternatives if you’re comparing:
    • Insight Works (Warehouse Insight + Advanced Inventory Count): great if you want more flexible cycle count plans and reports.
    • Anveo: very customizable, good offline.
    If you find this useful mark it as verified
