00:00:01.313 --> 00:00:06.357
In this episode we use the scanner to check prices and stock. You can scan a

2
00:00:06.357 --> 00:00:11.732
barcode, type a product code, scan a serial number, or scan a label from the deli

3
00:00:11.732 --> 00:00:12.131
scale.

4
00:00:13.371 --> 00:00:16.058
From the home screen, tap Price and stock.

5
00:00:17.372 --> 00:00:21.742
The scan box at the top is ready for you. If your scanner is a handheld, just pull

6
00:00:21.742 --> 00:00:26.058
the trigger. If you are on a phone, the camera button on the right scans with the

7
00:00:26.058 --> 00:00:26.431
camera.

8
00:00:27.973 --> 00:00:29.935
Let us scan the barcode on a hoodie.

9
00:00:31.661 --> 00:00:36.964
The green bar names the item. Below it you see the product, the size, and which kind

10
00:00:36.964 --> 00:00:41.952
of barcode you scanned. Then the price, in large type, and how many are on hand

11
00:00:41.952 --> 00:00:42.268
here.

12
00:00:43.163 --> 00:00:48.072
Underneath, the stock at your store: how many are available, how many are already

13
00:00:48.072 --> 00:00:53.042
promised to customers, and how many are on order from suppliers. It also shows the

14
00:00:53.042 --> 00:00:56.133
bin and the reorder level, if the product has them.

15
00:00:56.569 --> 00:01:01.284
Then the stock at every outlet, and the other sizes of the same product, each with

16
00:01:01.284 --> 00:01:02.663
its price and its count.

17
00:01:03.744 --> 00:01:08.898
A product can have more than one barcode. Here is the same hoodie scanned from its

18
00:01:08.898 --> 00:01:13.362
second barcode, a thirteen digit E A N code. You land on the same item.

19
00:01:14.196 --> 00:01:19.562
You do not need a barcode. You can type the product code, the S K U, and press

20
00:01:19.562 --> 00:01:22.520
Enter. The result says it matched by S K U.

21
00:01:23.488 --> 00:01:28.138
Items sold by weight carry a label from the scale. Scan it, and the scanner reads

22
00:01:28.138 --> 00:01:29.689
the weight inside the code.

23
00:01:31.070 --> 00:01:35.842
This is a bag of bananas. The label says one and a quarter pounds. The scanner shows

24
00:01:35.842 --> 00:01:40.387
the price per pound and the price of this bag, eighty six cents, and how much we

25
00:01:40.387 --> 00:01:41.182
have in stock.

26
00:01:42.963 --> 00:01:47.163
Serial numbers work too. This is the I M E I of a phone.

27
00:01:48.267 --> 00:01:53.516
The scanner shows that exact unit: it is in stock, where it is, when it was

28
00:01:53.516 --> 00:01:59.256
received, and its details. Underneath is the usual price and stock for that model.

29
00:01:59.479 --> 00:02:05.075
Some scans do not work. Barcodes have a check digit, and a bad scan often gets it

30
00:02:05.075 --> 00:02:06.803
wrong. Here is a misread.

31
00:02:07.940 --> 00:02:12.473
The scanner does not guess. It says the check digit is wrong, so rescan before you

32
00:02:12.473 --> 00:02:13.413
do anything else.

33
00:02:15.687 --> 00:02:18.181
And here is a valid code that nobody knows.

34
00:02:19.709 --> 00:02:25.194
It tells you that no product, serial number, gift card or customer matches. In a

35
00:02:25.194 --> 00:02:29.651
later episode we will see how to link a new barcode to a product.

36
00:02:30.023 --> 00:02:33.740
If you have no code at all, tap the search button and type a name.

37
00:02:34.661 --> 00:02:40.174
Each result shows the code, the price and how many are on hand. Tap one to open it.

38
00:02:41.127 --> 00:02:45.838
That is price and stock. In the next episode, we check a delivery in against its

39
00:02:45.838 --> 00:02:46.721
purchase order.
