How do I get started?
Click Get started, then use Proto to configure SCM with Barcode/RFID for your business. Begin with one organization, a known item and storage location, a request and a reviewer.
What does a scan record?
A scan can hold a tag, device event identity, time, units and the parent request. The team can compare that read with the approved request and the stock record.
Does a scan change stock by itself?
A scan is the physical observation. The posted movement is the quantity effect used for stock history.
How is available stock different from on-hand stock?
Posted signed movements establish on-hand stock. Active reservations identify quantity already set aside for requests and help explain what remains available.
How do reviewers see the right request?
A decision records the source revision, reviewer, outcome and reason. Compare that revision with the current request when work continues.
What if a scanner sends the same event twice?
Use the device event identity and request context to identify the earlier read. Reconcile the action outcome before recording another stock effect.
How are lots handled?
A lot carries its code, expiry and release state. Reservations and movements can point to that lot for a trace through the request.
How is a stock correction recorded?
Keep the original posted movement and link a compensating movement to it after reviewing the current scope and supporting evidence.
Can auditors follow the evidence?
The request links its decisions, attachments, scans, movements and operation outcomes so an auditor can inspect the chain.
Where do device and label connections fit?
Agree on tag identity, event identity and the system that manages labels before connecting devices. Rehearse duplicate and unknown reads with your actual equipment.
