How to use barcode scanners for inventory parts in Manager SE

A barcode scanner that works with Windows is required


The easiest way to use a barcode scanner with inventory parts is to add an alternate part number. The alternate part number will be the barcode number on a part.

Go into Inventory and open a part. Click on Alt Parts and then click Add.

An editable area should turn blue. Click in the blue area and a blinking cursor will appear.

Once the cursor is in the Alternate Part Number area, scan the parts barcode.

The number of the barcode should appear as an alternate part number. Click ok.

Now you will be able to scan this part into an order and the system should recognize it as an inventory part.

Scan the parts barcode while the cursor is in the Part No field. The Select Substitute Part will come up with the actual part in inventory.

Click Select Part and the Parts window will be populated with all of the parts information.
