Barcode Scanning

StockrHub supports barcode scanning for warehouse workflows including stock counts, stock transfers, and purchase order receiving.

How Scanning Works

Stockr accepts scanner input from:

• camera-based barcode scanning
• Bluetooth scanners
• USB scanners that emulate keyboard input

When a code is scanned, Stockr matches it against the saved product identifier for that item.

Supported Identifier Sources

Depending on your label setup, Stockr can scan against:

• the exact saved product barcode
• the manufacturer part number
• the SKU

These rules are controlled from Suppliers -> Add Vendors when you configure the brand’s label barcode source.

Supported Barcode Formats

Stockr can work with the following printed label formats:

Format	Type	Common Use
Code 128	1D	General-purpose warehouse labels
Code 39	1D	Legacy warehouse and supplier labels
EAN-13	1D	International retail products
UPC-A	1D	North American retail products

Note

Retail barcodes such as UPC-A and EAN-13 are preserved when the stored barcode is valid. Non-retail labels can use Code128 or Code39 based on shop defaults or brand-specific overrides.

Scanning In Stock Counts

1. Open or resume a stock count.
2. Enter Scan Mode.
3. Scan the item barcode.
4. Stockr matches the saved barcode or SKU and increments the counted quantity.
5. Review any over / short differences before updating inventory.

Scanning In Stock Transfers

1. Create a new transfer.
2. Choose source and destination locations.
3. Scan items to add them to the transfer.
4. Scan repeatedly to increment quantity or adjust manually after the first scan.
5. Submit the transfer after review.

Scanning In PO Receiving

1. Open the purchase order.
2. Use the receiving scanner.
3. Scan the item barcode or configured identifier.
4. Stockr matches the scan against the PO line item and increments received quantity.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution
Product not found after scan	Verify the expected barcode, manufacturer barcode, or SKU is stored for that item and that the correct label barcode source is configured for the brand.
Barcode will not scan reliably	Check print quality, label size, and barcode format selection. UPC/EAN labels should not be stretched.
Wrong item matches	Review the brand’s Label Barcode setting in Suppliers -> Add Vendors and confirm the printed label source matches what the warehouse is scanning.
Hardware scanner not working	Confirm the scanner is paired and outputs text correctly into a normal text field first.
