Requirements

Device

The mobile app can be installed on one of the following devices

• Phone with Android operating system 

• Zebra scanner with Android operating system 

• Datalogic scanner with Android operating system

Settings

• In Shopify, you must define an SKU or a Barcode for each product variant

• In xConnector, uncheck this option: Mark as dispatched

    xConnector > Profile > Preferences > Default values > Mark order as dispatched

Optional settings needed for scanning:

• Shelving and Organization: Products should be stored in a manner that is logical and accessible. Frequently picked items might be placed closer to the packaging area.

• Labeling: Each product variant should have a barcode or QR code attached to the product storage place. This makes it easier to identify and track items during the picking process.
  The product's location in the warehouse. Save for each product variant details like row, row unit, and shelf in the mobile application so you can easily acces this info and you can pick the products from the right spots quickly.

• Picking Carts and Boxes: These are used to collect items as they are picked. They should be sized appropriately for the types of products being handled. Prepare as many boxes as the number of orders you want to pick and number them starting with 1. The mobile application assigns each order to a numbered box starting with number 1.
