Item Entry: Sequence Flow

Here is an example of the Item Entry Sequence Flow when the Item Entry Method is UPC:

1. The system checks whether the barcode scanned or entered is a valid Packing Number. If it is, then the information is automatically moved to the Packing Number field and the cursor returns to the Item Entry field.

2. If it is not a valid Packing Number, then the system checks whether the information is a valid Sales Order. If it is, then the information is automatically moved to the Sales Order field and the cursor returns to the Item Entry field.

3. If it is not a Sales Order, then the system checks whether the information scanned/entered is a valid Carton ID. If it is, then the information is automatically moved to the Carton ID field and the cursor returns to the Item Entry field.

4. If it is not a Carton ID, then the system checks whether the information is a valid UPC code. If it is, then the information is automatically moved to the Item Entry field and the appropriate Quantity Entry method is carried out:
   • When the Quantity Entry method is Auto, the list box is automatically updated with a quantity of one and the cursor returns to the Item Entry field.
     OR
     
   • When the Quantity Entry method is Prompt, the cursor moves to the Pack Qty field.

5. If the system cannot match the barcode scanned/entered, a warning message displays indicating that the record cannot be found and the cursor returns to the Item Entry field.
