Barcoding application

Use barcoding to track physical inventory by associating assets with a unique barcode. After setup, you can add inventory, transfer, and dispose of asset items. Dispose asset items by scanning barcode labels with a handheld terminal. The scanned data is downloaded and transferred to the a local drive and the data is transferred into the barcoding system. See your Infor representative for specific requirements.

When a file is uploaded from a handheld terminal, you must disable MS HotSync or similar software on the device that is used to perform continuous polling of serial ports. This software interferes with the ActivSync software and its ability to recognize the handheld terminal.

Use the Asset Accounting application to complete the processing. Barcoding is used to track the physical location and condition of an asset. It does not deal with the financial or accounting aspects of Asset Accounting. Barcoding works in one direction only. Data flows from the handheld terminal to Asset Accounting and the changes that you create in Barcoding requires the use of a handheld terminal (HHT). Otherwise, the barcode label does not flow back to the handheld terminal.

You can use several handheld terminals to perform the same operation and import to the Asset Accounting database file. Each asset item is assigned a unique barcode, but no barcode for the entire asset. This design uses partial asset transfers and disposals. You can track all items for an asset by designating the first scanned item as the parent item and associated scanned items as child items.
