## How to Setup Barcode+Quantity Scanning Packing Slip–Delivery Orders?

 In this tutorial, we will learn how to configure and use the **Barcode and Quantity Separator** feature in Packing Slip entries. This feature allows you to specify the required quantity directly within the barcode during scanning, eliminating the need to scan the same barcode multiple times.

***

### Objective of This Feature

* Specify quantity directly within the barcode
* Reduce repeated barcode scanning
* Speed up Packing Slip entry
* Improve scanning efficiency
* Minimize manual quantity entry

***

### Understand the Default Behavior

By default:

* If the required quantity is more than one, the same barcode must be scanned multiple times.
* The system increases the quantity based on the number of scans.

For example, to allocate a quantity of **10**, the barcode would normally need to be scanned 10 times.

***

### Configure the Barcode & Quantity Separator

* Open the **Configuration Window**.
* Navigate to the **Other Option One** section.
* Locate the option labeled as:

> **"Barcode and CF Quantity Separator"**

**Action**

* Enter the separator character you want to use.
* In this example, we will use a **Hyphen (-)**.

* Save the configuration.

***

### Create a New Packing Slip

* Open the **Packing Slip Entry** window.
* Initiate a **New Packing Slip** entry.
* Select the required **Customer**.
* Search and select the required **Sales Order** for retrieval.

* Proceed to the **Item Details** section.

**Result**

The items from the selected Sales Order are displayed in the Item Details grid.

***

### Scan Barcode with Quantity

* Place the cursor in the **Item Code** field.
* Scan or enter the barcode.
* Enter the configured separator followed by the required quantity.

**Example**

* If the barcode is: **Q562**
* And the required quantity is **10**
* Enter: **Q562-10**

Here, the **hyphen (-)** acts as the configured separator.

***

### Observe the Functionality

* Enter the **Packing Box Number**.
* Press **Enter**.

**Result**

The software automatically interprets the quantity specified after the separator and allocates **10 units** to the selected item.

This eliminates the need to scan the same barcode multiple times.

***

### Key Benefits

* **Faster Scanning:** Specify the quantity in a single scan.
* **Reduced Repetition:** No need to repeatedly scan the same barcode.
* **Improved Productivity:** Makes bulk packing entries quicker.
* **Easy Quantity Handling:** Quantity can be included directly with the barcode.
* **Efficient Packing Process:** Simplifies Sales Order-based Packing Slip entry.

***

### Best Practice Tips

* Ensure the separator configured in the system matches the separator used during scanning.
* Use a separator character that does not conflict with your barcode format.
* Verify the quantity before completing the Packing Slip entry.
* Test the configured separator with your barcode scanner before using it for regular transactions.

***

### Final Outcome

After enabling **Barcode and CF Quantity Separator**, Logic ERP allows the quantity to be specified directly with the barcode. For example, entering **Barcode-10** automatically allocates a quantity of **10**, making Packing Slip creation faster and more efficient.
