Advanced options such as accepted barcode types, scan stability, continuous scanning and sound/vibration feedback are available under '''Customize scanner''', keeping the normal operational screen simple.

==Lot, batch and expiry management==

Warehouse Scanner Pro supports Dolibarr products managed by lot or batch.

For lot-controlled products, the module can:

*Detect automatically that lot information is required
*Require a lot / serial number before applying a movement
*Require an expiry date when configured in Dolibarr
*Display available lots from the selected warehouse
*Display stock available for each lot
*Display expiry dates
*Sort lots using FEFO
*Automatically select the only available lot when applicable
*Receive stock into an existing or new lot
*Remove stock from a selected lot
*Transfer lot-controlled stock between warehouses
*Perform inventory adjustments by lot

For stock removal and transfers, available lots can be displayed in FEFO order so operators can select the stock with the earliest expiry date first.

==Customer Order Pick & Pack==

Version 1.1.0 introduces a complete '''Customer Order Pick & Pack''' workflow integrated with Dolibarr customer orders.

Operators can:

*Open an active customer order
*Select the source warehouse
*View the customer and order reference
*View the expected product
*View the product barcode
*View required quantity
*View available warehouse stock
*Scan products one unit at a time
*Prevent incorrect product scans
*Prevent over-picking
*Track picking progress for each line
*Automatically move to the next order line
*Resume a persistent Pick & Pack session

===Wrong product protection===

If an operator scans a product that does not match the expected order line, Warehouse Scanner Pro rejects the scan and keeps the picking progress unchanged.

This helps reduce warehouse picking errors.

===Backorders and partial shipments===

When the available stock is lower than the ordered quantity, Warehouse Scanner Pro can:

*Detect the stock shortage
*Allow the available quantity to be picked
*Mark the remaining quantity as backorder
*Keep picked and backordered quantities separate
*Continue the workflow without falsely marking missing products as scanned
*Create a partial Dolibarr shipment containing only the picked quantity

[[File:Warehouse_Scanner_Pro_1.1.0_Backorder_Partial_Shipment.png|center|900px|Backorder and partial shipment handling]]

Example:

*Ordered: 5
*Picked: 2
*Backorder: 3

Only the 2 picked units are included in the current shipment. The remaining 3 units stay available for a later shipment.

==Packing and shipment workflow==

After picking is complete, Warehouse Scanner Pro provides a structured packing workflow.

The workflow can progress through:

#Picking
#Picked
#Packing
#Packed
#Shipment created
#Shipment validated
#Shipment processed

The module uses Dolibarr's native shipment functionality and respects the configured Dolibarr stock management rules.

Depending on the Dolibarr configuration, stock may decrease when the shipment is validated or when the shipment is closed/processed.

Warehouse Scanner Pro detects the shipment status and displays the appropriate next action.

*Warehouse
*Ship-from information
*Ship-to information
*Product reference
*Product description
*Barcode
*Packed quantity
*Backorder quantity
*Packing summary
*Packed-by / checked-by fields
*Signature field

The label can include:

*Ship-from information
*Ship-to information
*Shipment reference
*Customer order reference
*Scannable shipment barcode

==Saved inventories==

Warehouse Scanner Pro supports persistent inventory sessions stored in the Dolibarr database.

An inventory can be:

*Created for a selected warehouse
*Saved and resumed later
*Continued from another device
*Updated with repeated scans of the same product
*Used with products managed with or without lots
*Used with multiple lots of the same product

For each inventory line, the module can display:

*Theoretical stock
*Counted stock
*Difference
*Lot
*Expiry date

Stock is modified only after the inventory is finalized.

Inventory differences are applied together after confirmation.

==Supplier order receiving==

The module includes workflows for supplier purchase orders.

Warehouse operators can:

*Open a supplier purchase order
*Check ordered products
*Scan received products
*Compare ordered and received quantities
*Record stock receipts
*Process partial receipts
*Synchronize supplier order reception status
*Export receipt information

==Product labels==

Warehouse Scanner Pro can generate printable product labels containing information such as:

*Product reference
*Barcode
*QR code
*Lot
*Expiry date

Labels can be used for products, boxes and warehouse operations.

==Scan history and auditability==

Scanner-created operations remain traceable.

The module can record information such as:

*Date and time
*Dolibarr user
*Product
*Warehouse
*Quantity
*Lot
*Expiry date
*Stock before movement
*Stock after movement
*Operation type

The '''Undo last movement''' function creates a compensating stock movement instead of deleting the original movement, preserving the audit history.

==Multilingual support==

Warehouse Scanner Pro 1.1.0 includes the following languages:

*English
*Romanian
*German
*French
*Spanish

==Permissions==

Warehouse Scanner Pro provides granular permissions for warehouse users.

Permissions can be configured for operations such as:

*Module access
*Stock reception
*Stock removal
*Stock transfer
*Inventory counting
*Saved inventories
*Supplier order checking
*Supplier order receiving
*Product labels
*Scan history
*Customer Order Pick & Pack

Users do not need administrator permissions to perform their assigned warehouse operations.

==Requirements==

The following Dolibarr modules should be enabled as required by the workflow:

*Products / Services
*Stock / Warehouses
*Customer Orders for Pick & Pack
*Shipments for shipment creation
*Supplier Orders for supplier receiving workflows
*Lots / Batches for lot-controlled products

HTTPS is recommended when using the smartphone camera because modern browsers normally require a secure connection for camera access.
