Overview
The Barcode Scanner App developed by Big River Barcode allows convenient User interaction with the PCR-360 Barcode API. This can greatly simplify User interactions with Inventory Management or performing Equipment related activity for Service Desk Items.
This article will first give an overview of all buttons within the App and then provide information on the individual Inventory and Service Desk portions of the integration with the hand-held Scanners.
Note: one thing to be aware of while using the Scanner App is that when selecting items from a grid, even though the top row is highlighted by default in those instances, a User will still need to select that row manually if they would like to select it.

Inventory
Main Menu
The Main Menu gives the User access to several Inventory-related actions.
Log On / Renew Login
The Renew Login screen/Log On screen, enables the User to sign into the Scanner Application using their PCR-360 credentials. If a Scanner has been logged in for an extended time, re-authentication by the User will be needed. It is recommended that Users re-authenticate at least once a day, but this may vary based on your Organization's rules.
This screen also provides quick access to the Admin Screen, which may be needed for the initial setup of the Scanner.
SD Equip Status
The SD Equip Status screen lets the User access Service Desk Items from within PCR-360 and update Equipment activity on them.
Once the Service Desk item is entered, the User can select Equipment records on it.
Once selected, the user can update the Status of the Service Desk Equipment.
If a piece of Equipment requires additional information, the application will prompt for the details. For hierarchical data, such as Locations, once an initial value is selected, the application will ask if the User wishes to look for child locations. This process will continue until the User either no longer desires to look for further child records or until none exist.
Item Bulk Add
The Item Bulk Add screen lets the User select a Warehouse and begin to Bulk Add individual items to it.
Once the Warehouse is selected, the application will need the desired Part Number to Bulk Add.
Once the item is entered, the User must provide any needed Status, Quantity, and Units to add. The User can also add additional comments.
Once complete, the User will be returned to the Bulk Item screen to enter a new Item's Part Number.
Purchase Order, Receive
The Purchase Order, Recieve screen allows Users to select a Purchase Order within PCR-360 and begin receiving Equipment from. When selecting a Purchase Order, the application will ask if the User wants to keep the default Warehouse or change it.
Once the Purchase Order has been selected, the User can view the individual line items on it.
The Recieving Process will repeat until all Equipment on the Purchase Order has been received or the User decides to stop receiving on that Purchase Order.
Once the Equipment to be received has been selected, the User must enter the number of items to be received as a part of the Purchase Order. Once confirmed, the application will prompt the User to add Serial Numbers or MAC Addresses for the Equipment. Users can enter only Serial Numbers, only MAC Addresses, or both.
The above image is if the User elects to add both Serial Numbers and MAC Addresses.
Transfer Items
The Transfer Items screen lets a User select two different Warehouses and transfer Equipment from the first Warehouse to the second.
Once the To and From Warehouses have been confirmed, the User can enter the Item Part Numbers to be transferred from the From Warehouse to the To Warehouse.
Once the item is entered, the User must provide any needed Status, Quantity, and Units to add. The User can also add additional comments.
Once complete, the User will be returned to the Item screen to enter a new Item's Part Number.
Physical Inventory
The Physical Inventory allows the User to select a Warehouse and begin receiving Equipment for it.
After the User has selected the Warehouse, they must enter the Part Number for the Equipment.
The Physical Inventory screen will be returned to once all Quantities of the entered Equipment have been added.
From the Units, Items, and Quantity screen, the User can enter the expected Quantity of Equipment to add to the Warehouse.
If the Equipment is a "has Units" Catalog, the User will need to enter the individual number of Units for each Quantity of the Equipment.
