Using the Barcode Scanner

This action can be performed by these following roles:

  • Retail Area Manager
  • Retail Supervisor
  • Retail Manager

This barcode symbol represents the barcode scanning function

Enables barcode to be scanned or entered manually

Note: This documentation contains steps on both the sending and receiving side of using the barcode scanner to give an insight on how it is used. In a real instance the user will either be completing just the sending steps or just the receiving steps.


When Barcode Scanning window opens, scan product

Alternatively product serial number can be entered manually



Go to Sales module


Create a Quotation


In the Supplier field you can either enter a normal customer or a remote customer (NGU)

This example we will use a remote customer.

The rest of the data should automatically populate, but still check it is correct


If a remote customer is entered, you will be notified that the quotation will be automatically sent to the supplier.

When a Sales Order is created on the customer side, a Purchase Order is automatically created on the Supplier side and vice versa.


Add the products that you wish to include in the order and enter the quantity

Finish by clicking Save.

You will notice a new message ‘Pending Client Validation’ which means that the customer will need to confirm the details of the order to be validated.



Scan the barcodes or enter the serial numbers for the 15” TV’s



The Remote customer (Bboxx Capital Kenya) must now confirm the Purchase Order since Asia

Go to Purchase module



Select Quotations tab



Select the created Purchase Order


Check that the order items and the quantities are correct and confirm the order


Note: Items in blue font represent products tracked by serial number. Items in black font are not tracked.
