Entering Items Using a Scanner
A bar code scanner is another way to enter information into the system. You can use the scanner to get data for any field that’s available to type in. The information from the bar code will automatically fill the field where the cursor is located.
There are a couple of ways you can use the scanner and, depending on which mode you are using, the entry process is different. These steps assume you are already in one of the sales entry windows.
To use the scanner in scanner mode:
1 Scan the item being sold or returned. The system assumes a quantity of 1 for each line item and moves to the next detail line after the item appears on the screen.
2 If you need to change the quantity of the scanned item, use either the mouse or the arrow keys to move to the Quantity field and adjust the quantity as necessary.
3 Scan any remaining items.
To use the scanner in keyboard mode:
1 Scan the item being sold or returned. The cursor automatically moves to the Quantity field.
2 In the Quantity field, type the quantity of the item you will sell or return.
3 Press ENTER to move to the next line.
