Top reasons why you should use barcode scanners

When new products are received for the first time, receiving personnel sometimes discover that the barcode printed on cartons, labels on shrink wrap, pieces, etc., either is unreadable, does not correspond to the data stored in the ERP system or the needed data is not stored in the system. To avoid the delay caused by these conditions, purchasing personnel should be instructed to include entering data for new products as one of the steps for purchasing products never stocked before. Plus, a barcode label printer should be located near the receiving area and receiving personnel should be trained in using the ERP system to print product ID labels.
