Changes in ASP hand terminal screens

SKU label button

A new button will be visible when SKU Management is enabled: the SKU label button 

This button starts the SKU label screen and is visible in stock receipt or creation processes.
The button is only enabled after selecting a SKU item (so the item has to be scanned first).

SKU label screen

A new screen was created to offer label printing functionality. The screen can be started automatically in SKU receipts processes or pressed when labels are needed.
When 'automatic start' is enabled, it will show automatically after a SKU item code has been scanned, the screen has following steps:

1. When a SKU item has more than one SKU configuration, then the appropriate SKU type has to be selected.
2. After that, you have to enter for which quantity (in sales units) you wish to print labels. In guided receipt processes, the quantity will be prefilled with the ordered quantity
3. The number of labels to print is calculated (rounded up) and suggested. You are able to overwrite the number of labels to print.

1:	2:	3:

After input of the number of labels, the new SSCC numbers are generated and stored, and label printing is started immediately (when properly configured).
You will then continue with the receipt process and you can scan the labels you just printed and applied to the SKU's.

Please note that this SKU label screen is used only to print labels. The quantity entered here is not copied to the receipt process, and the generated SSCC numbers are not automatically received yet.
You have to scan the SSCC numbers you just printed in the receipt process, per separate SKU receipt line.

Repack menu

The menu '4 - Repack to' was added to the ASP Transfers menu, allowing access to SKU repack functionality.

SKU/Sales Unit switch

When scanning a SKU number, for example in transfers, it should also be possible to transfer part of the SKU (loose sales units), and break up the SKU.
But it would not be efficient to be forced to always input the quantity to be transferred when you also transfer full pallets.

That is why a new 'switch' has been provided on the hand terminal, to indicate if you want to transfer the whole SKU, or part of it:

When tapping on this switch, it will switch between 'SKU' or 'Sales units'. The default value is 'SKU'.

When set to 'SKU', it is assumed that you will transfer the whole SKU:


When set to 'Sales units', you will be able to enter the quantity to be transferred:
