Picking Process thru Barcode Confirmation

Dear all,

we would like to follow the following workflow in our Picking-Process from Sales Orders:

  1. The Picker opens a due Sales Order on his Mobile Device and converts it into a Draft-Deliverynote
  2. The Picker goes to the location of the Product, picks the Product and scans its Barcode
  3. The scanning then should automatically confirm that specific Product on the Draft-Deliverynote. If a wrong Product was picked (which is not on the Deliverynote), an error should be displayed
  4. At the end, only the confirmed/scanned Products should be added as a final Deliverynote. The remaining quantities/Products from the Sales Orders will stay open and as Backorders

Would you have any suggestion/input of how to achieve this workflow in ERPNext, or/and do you have a suggestion for a customization (sponsoring might be possible)?

Thanks, David

Hello David,

My inline replies below.

The Picker opens a due Sales Order on his Mobile Device and converts it into a Draft-Deliverynote.

With this, all the Sales Order items will be fetched into Delivery Note.

The Picker goes to the location of the Product, picks the Product and scans its Barcode

What is the exact value of Barcode. It is an alternative of Item Code or an item’s unique Serial No.?

I think you don’t need a Barcode for fetching item details, because it’s already fetched from Sales Order.

The scanning then should automatically confirm that specific Product on the Draft-Deliverynote. If a wrong Product was picked (which is not on the Deliverynote), an error should be displayed.

As stated above, if you will be fetching item’s Serial No. via Barcode scanning, then it will be validated on saving a Delivery Note.

At the end, only the confirmed/scanned Products should be added as a final Deliverynote. The remaining quantities/Products from the Sales Orders will stay open and as Backorders.

User should only keep items in the Delivery Note for which Serial No. was found. Others should be removed manually. If all the Delivery Note items are Serialised Item, then User won’t be allowed to Submit Delivery Note without Serial No. anyways.

Hi Umair,

thank you for your response. Actually the Items are not managed by serial
numbers. The purpose of the Barcode scanning is that our Items look quite
similar from outside (the package) and the Picker sometimes picked the
wrong Item. By scanning the Barcode of the Item, we will have a validation
that the Items actual picked are the same Items as on the Sales Order.

Any idea/comment would be much appreciated.

Thanks, David

If anyone would have any further suggestions or input on this, I would much appreciate. Thanks, David
