Overview

We are thrilled to share the news about the release of a new feature that allows users to extract the ItemCode (Serialised barcode for every item inwarded in warehouse) by scanning the QR codes pasted on the products.

This will greatly benefit warehouse operators in several ways:

  • The need for printing and pasting serialized barcode (Item code) stickers will be eliminated.

  • Scanning product item codes will become much easier through the scan of QR codes.

Implementation Details

When scanning a QR code to extract the item code, we often encounter various data formats instead of a straightforward item code string which are mentioned below.

 Possible Types

  1. ItemCode within a string with delimiters: Sometimes, the item code is embedded within a larger string, separated by delimiters.

  2. ItemCode within a multi-line string (key-value pair): In certain cases, the item code may be found within a multi-line string, typically in a key-value pair format.

  3. ItemCode within a URL's query parameter: The item code may be passed as a query parameter in a URL.

  4. ItemCode within a URL's path parameter: Alternatively, the item code might be part of the URL's path parameter.

Supported Type → Item code extraction from QR code URL query parameter

Currently, we have supported Item Code extraction from QR code’s URL Query parameter only. For all other cases currently the support is not added but is planned for future releases.

Key Value pair in URL Query path Configuration

Users will now be able to easily configure the 'Key Name' from the WMS Item code configuration screen, simplifying the process of identifying which key value should be retrieved from the QR code URL query parameter.

Furthermore, a dedicated testing section for key configuration has been added to replicate the system's behavior of extracting item code values from defined URL path parameters.

You can proceed to the User manual section to learn how to work with this simple configuration and streamline operations.

User Manual

Curious to know how to perform this activity quickly? Refer to this section for step-by-step instructions on how to configure the Item code extraction configuration for your Product QR codes.

Steps

  1. Go to Increff WMS home screeen, navigate to Item Code Configuration screen under Configurations section.

  2. On left section of the screen, you can configure the Key name for which the system will be expected to extract the Item Code value from.

  3. On right sectioon of the screen, Sample inputs can be given by user to see the sample value of item code extract from QR code URL

  4. Click on Submit to save the defined key and use delete configuration if you require to create a new configuration.
