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¶
- Navigate to Receive Packages > Receive by Package.
- Click into the Tracking Number input field (it is auto-focused).
- Scan a barcode or type a tracking number.
- Press ++enter++ or click Receive Package.
- The system immediately processes the scan and displays feedback.
- 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.
