Utility barcodes are used for various actions during picking and shipping, such as placing an order on hold, or skipping an item's scan verification request during batch picking.
โ
You can print utility barcodes from the Printing tab. You can also ask our support team for a single-page PDF with all of our utility barcodes ready to print like I have in this video:
Order picking
While processing a batch order or with the order picking screen open, scan:
Force clear order - to mark the order as cleared without affecting inventory.
Hold - to put the current order on hold and move on to the next order.
Restart - to restart the order, void all labels, and remove all scans.
Shipping (new)
While the shipping screen is up during single order or batch shipping, scan:
Read scale - to automatically fill in the weight from your scale
Weigh and purchase - to automatically weigh then ship the order, generating a shipping label.
Purchase label - to automatically generate a shipping label
Get rates - to retrieve rate quotes from your carriers
Batch picking
Out of stock - to mark the current item at the current location out of stock.
Skip - to pick an item without scanning its actual barcode.
Next - mark the current item as fully picked. Only available on batch picking.
Restart - to restart the batch and all of its orders, void all labels, and remove all scans.
Hold - to remove the current order from the batch, and put it on hold or restart it.
