Consume Inventory Mode on Mobile Apps

The Scheduler App allows staff members to scan barcodes of in-store items, automatically deducting the quantities from the backbar inventory. This feature is available only on the mobile app and is not supported on the web.

Things to know:

• Device Compatibility

  • iOS: Requires iOS 14 or later.
  • Android: Requires Android 5.0 or later.
    
• Access Control Requirement
  
  • The Consume Inventory feature is linked to the Accessing Inventory Details permission. To use this feature, the access level must be set to Edit.
    
• Barcode Scanning Behavior
  
  • If the barcode scanner does not find a matching product, the app will display the error message: "Error - SKU item with that barcode not found locally."

  • Each time the scanner beeps, it confirms that the product has been successfully scanned and deducted from inventory. Scanning will continue as long as the camera remains pointed at the barcode
