Receive by Package

Receive by Package allows you to scan or enter individual tracking numbers to record packages as received. This method provides real-time feedback for each scan, making it ideal for use with a barcode scanner.

How to Receive Packages

  1. Navigate to Receive Packages > Receive by Package.
  2. Click into the Tracking Number input field (it is auto-focused).
  3. Scan a barcode or type a tracking number.
  4. Press ++enter++ or click Receive Package.
  5. The system immediately processes the scan and displays feedback.
  6. The input field clears and re-focuses automatically, ready for the next scan.

Scan Feedback

Each scan produces one of three results, displayed as a color-coded alert:

Status Color Meaning
Success Green Package was received successfully
Duplicate Blue Package was already received (shows when and by whom)
Exception Orange An error occurred while receiving the package

Statistics

The top of the page displays running totals:

  • Total Scanned — Total number of scans in the current session
  • Successfully Received — Packages received this session (green)
  • Duplicates — Packages that were already received (blue)

Scanned Packages Log

Below the statistics, a table logs every scan with:

Column Description
Status Color-coded badge (Success, Duplicate, or Exception)
Tracking Number The scanned tracking number
Message Details about the result
Scanned At Timestamp of the scan

Use the search box to filter within the scan log.

Tip

For high-volume receiving, connect a barcode scanner configured to send an ++enter++ keystroke after each scan. The input field auto-focuses after each scan, so you can continuously scan without touching the keyboard.
