At Fabrikatör, we understand the importance of efficient inventory management in your eCommerce journey. Although we currently do not offer native scanner support, there is a convenient workaround that can be utilized on the 'Receive Inventory' screen of a Purchase Order (PO).

This method may vary in effectiveness depending on the specific barcode scanner you are using. Here's how you can integrate barcode scanning into your inventory process:

1. Navigate to the 'Receive Inventory' Page: Begin by accessing the 'Receive Inventory' page of a specific Purchase Order.

2. Activate the Search Feature: You will notice a magnifying glass icon next to the product column name. Click on this icon to proceed.

3. Open the Search Field: Clicking on the magnifying glass icon will open a text field that allows you to search for products.

4. Scan the Barcode: With your barcode scanner connected to your computer, click into the text field and scan the barcode of the product. The scanner should automatically input the barcode number into the field.

5. Verify Product Matches: Once the barcode is scanned, the system should display any matching products. If the correct product appears, you can then manually input the quantity you are receiving.

6. Repeat for Additional Products: Continue this process for each product by repeating the steps above.

Please note that this is a workaround, and compatibility may vary with different barcode scanners. We understand that every tool and process is unique to your business, and we are keen to make your experience with Fabrikatör as seamless as possible.

Your Feedback Matters: We are always looking to improve and evolve our services. We would greatly appreciate your feedback on this workaround. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvement, please do not hesitate to share your experience with us. Your input is invaluable in helping us enhance our system to better suit your needs.
