Scan Ship
Overview
Scan Ship can be used by the Warehouse staff to scan and pick inventory for a shipment.
Company Setup
Click to open the App Launcher. Select Company Setup.
Check Allow Scan Packing Slip to add barcodes for both the Shipment No. and Item No. on Packing Slip.
Warehouse
Click the App Launcher. Select Warehouse.
For any warehouse that will utilize mobile scanning, ensure that the Populate Lots when Create WS checkbox is NOT checked.
User Setup
Open the App Launcher. Select User Setup.
Select a Warehouse if needed. By default, users are allowed to process transactions only in the warehouse selected. Leave this field blank to allow Scan Ship in all warehouses.
Edit the Menu field and add Ship for the user.
You can leave the Scan Ship Filter Option blank so that every user can see all open shipments. Otherwise, the shipments will be filtered by the shipping agents that are assigned to the user.
Note: If you use company trucks for delivery, you can set up a shipping agent for each of the trucks.
You can then assign a Salesforce User on the Shipping Agent:

In each of the blocks, you will see:
Item Name, Item Description, Bin

Rem'g (the remaining quantity to pick)
Shipped (the quantity that has already been picked)
UOM (Unit of measure) - The UOM matches the unit of measure entered from the Sales Order

You can scan either Item No. or GTIN on the Item Unit of Measure table.
After entering an item, If the item is lot lot-tracked item, enter or select the lot # → enter quantity → Save.
If the item is a serial-tracked item, enter or select the serial # → Save.
If the item is a lot tracked and serial tracked item, enter or select the serial # → Save.
If the item is not lot tracked and not serial tracked, enter the quantity → Save.

You can double-click the item block to see the Lot No. that was picked.
Click Reset to undo and start again.

Scanning GTIN instead of Item #
General Info
Setup Notes:
The GTIN and its UOM must be setup before using this feature.
See Item Unit of Measure for more details.
The Sales Order Line must be entered using the item’s base UOM. See Sales Line for more details.
Many times the item may have a barcode on it’s packaging that corresponds to a GTIN/UPC.
In this case, the picker may find it easier to scan that barcode than entering the item.
In addition, instead of counting each individual unit, the picker can simply enter the GTIN’s UOM.
Example
The shipment quantity is 450.
Scan the GTIN
The GTIN UOM, Pallet (PA) = 150 Eaches
The Expected Quantity in the GTIN UOM= 3
Therefore, the receiving operator only needs to count 3 pallets, rather than 450 Eaches.
Troubleshooting
Error Message: Not a Base Unit of Measure
If you receive this error it means the Sales Order Line wasn’t entered with the base UOM.
You can not have a Purchase Order Line where the UOM = Box, and try to scan the GTIN Barcode.
The Purchase Order Line UOM must be Each (or whatever the base UOM is for the item).
Serialized items must be scanned in by the base UOM only because the serial numbers must be entered 1 at a time.
