Does anyone know if there is a way to scan a bar code for the quantity in MSCM Par Counting? I am thinking something along the lines of a prefix symbol or character that would allow the application to recognize the number as the count quantity.
We are doing Kanban at a site that we are onboarding and they currently utilize a 2 bin Kanban system for their carts. I designed a label for them with bar codes for the item number, the count quantity if one bin is empty (half the par), and the count quantity if both bins are empty (a hard coded zero). My hope was that they could scan the item bar code and then scan the bar code for bin 1 empty or bin 2 empty. The issue that I have run in to is that, once you’re in the par counting function, MSCM thinks that all bar codes are item numbers. I get errors like "Item [5] not found" or "Item [0] not found".
Has anyone else run in to this and solved it?
Thanks,
Pat
