3.11 Transferring Items between Branches – The Transfer Function (Selection 4) The Tran sfe r function in the Firmware menu (Selection 4) allows you to transfer inventory
items from one branch to another. The inventory balances maintained for each branch in
Furniture Wizard are then automatically updated with the captured data. For example, if five
sofas are being transferred from the Warehouse to the Showroom, the inventory balance
maintained in Furniture Wizard for the Warehouse automatically decreases by 5, while the
Showroom balance increases by 5 after the captured data for the sofa has been transmitted.
To select, perform and complete this function, do the following:
1. After logging on to the scanner, press <4> (Transfer), followed by the
<Blue Enter>
key.
2. To scan a bar-coded item and capture data, point the top of the scanner towards the bar
code label on item being transferred, and then press the yellow Scan key beneath the
information window, making sure the red laser light is beaming across the bar code. The red
button above the information window lights up when the scanner is in the process of
capturing data, and it beeps when it completes the data capture.
3. In general, the memory in the scanner unit is sufficient to store captured data for several
hundred items. If you doing a large scale transfer of inventory from one branch to another
(for example, from one warehouse to another) and are moving hundreds of different items,
transmit the captured data after completing the scan of a portion of the inventory being
moved.
4. After you have completed scanning of all desired inventory items, simultaneously press
the <FN Alpha> and <0> keys to transmit the captured data to Furniture Wizard.
5. After the scanner has transmitted the captured data, it automatically appears in the New
Inventory Transfer function in Furniture Wizard (Figure 45).
