Saved inventories

Inventory sessions are saved in the Dolibarr database.

A user can:

  1. Create an inventory for a selected warehouse.
  2. Scan products or enter their references manually.
  3. Count the same product several times.
  4. Save the inventory and continue it later.
  5. Resume the inventory from another device.
  6. Edit or remove counted lines before finalization.
  7. Compare theoretical stock with physically counted stock.
  8. Apply all differences together after final confirmation.

The stock is not modified while the inventory is being counted.

If the stock of a counted product changes before finalization, the module can block the operation to prevent an incorrect adjustment.

Lot and expiry management

Warehouse Scanner Pro supports products managed by lot or batch.

For each lot, the module displays:

  • Lot or serial number
  • Expiry date
  • Current theoretical quantity
  • Physically counted quantity
  • Inventory difference

Several lots of the same product can be counted in one inventory. Each lot is stored and adjusted separately.

The module also supports inventories containing both:

  • Products without lot management
  • Products with lot and expiry management

Supplier order reception

The module provides a mobile-friendly supplier order receipt workflow.

Warehouse operators can:

  • Open a supplier purchase order
  • Scan received products
  • Compare ordered and received quantities
  • Record partial receptions
  • Complete the reception
  • Synchronize the supplier order status
  • Cancel recent scanner-created receptions when permission allows it
  • Export reception reports

Product labels

Warehouse Scanner Pro can generate printable labels containing:

  • Product reference
  • Barcode or QR code
  • Lot number
  • Expiry date

Different label formats can be used for products, packages and warehouse shelves.

For smartphone camera scanning, use HTTPS and allow camera access in the browser.
