Scan > Search Barcode

This function replicates DAT-MAIL’s existing Search for Barcodes function. It allows users to find information from IM piece, tray, and pallet barcode scans from within wbSCAN. It also allows users to reprint tags of the scanned container and also allows mailers to create a sibling container for the scanned tray, sack or pallet. To access this feature, select Scan > Search Barcode.

Manually enter or cut/paste the desired barcode into the Scan Value field or scan the desired barcode using a hand-held scanner and click Save (if necessary). As long as the barcode exists in the database, the system will return the details associated with that barcode.

From the results screen, users can also print tray tags for the barcode and/or create siblings.

Search Barcode – Print Tags & Creating Siblings

Besides being able to search for pallets, trays and sacks, when a barcode is successfully scanned, users can print a tray or sack tag by clicking Print Tag. If the pallet flag is needed for the scanned sack or tray click Print Mother Pallet Tag. When a tray or sack requires a sibling, click Create Sibling. You can also scan a pallet and create a sibling pallet. And whenever you are getting ready to print tag or placard and need to choose a different Printer or Tag Format Profile, click Change Print Settings.

When Change Print Settings is clicked, the Update Print Settings screen will appear to select the appropriate profiles and then click Save.

If the system determines that the mother pallet is a logical pallet, when Print Mother Pallet Tag is clicked, an error message will display, and the tag will not be printed. If a mother pallet is also a logical pallet, pallet flags cannot be printed for it.

If the job associated with the scanned barcode is locked in DAT-MAIL for whatever reason, when Print Tag, Print Mother Pallet Tag, or Create Sibling is clicked, an error message will display and not allow printing or sibling creation to take place. The associated job must be unlocked in DAT-MAIL to be able to print tags or create siblings.

If the jobs containers are not registered in the IMBM table, the Search Barcode will not be able to find the tray, instead the message below will appear. If you are certain that this is the correct job, you will need to re-register the barcodes, see the Support Portal for more information - https://windowbook.na2.teamsupport.com/knowledgeBase.
