Scan Function on Tablet Consumption Screen

[sidney_long]

When our workers are performing an operation that includes consumptions, they occasionally have to edit consumptions. For example, if we are out of a certain raw material, we may adjust consume a different material instead. Currently they have to hand-key in the product code which leads to typos and errors. Example, a worker recently consumed 1 gallon of a chemical instead of one pair of outsoles. If we could scan a barcode in the consumptions drop-down we could avoid these errors and ensure the correct product is being consumed.

Hello @sidney_long , thank you for posting this idea.

Are you currently using any barcodes on the shop floor, that you would scan here? Or would you generate them from scratch?

I'm asking because there are barcodes with different information, and therefore would require a different logic when being read on the tablet.

@andrade_david currently we label all of our products with barcodes. While we have not used them for the production process within Fusion Ops, we did use them with our previous process.
