Scanning into Quantity Fields

Scanning into Quantity Fields

By default, scanners are disabled in quantity fields to prevent accidentally scanning item codes as quantities, which can result in incorrect large transactions.

Enable Scanning in Quantity Fields

To allow scanning in quantity fields:

  1. Navigate to System Settings > Settings tab in the PanatrackerGP Portal.
  2. Locate the AllowScanInQuantityField setting.
  3. Change the value to true.
  4. Save the settings.

Scanners will now be enabled when the cursor is in a quantity field.
