Scan the Same Item with Different Units of Measure on a Purchase Order

When receiving the same item in multiple Units of Measure (UOM), follow these guidelines to ensure quantities are processed correctly.

Scan One Unit of Measure at a Time

Complete scanning all quantities for the first Unit of Measure before scanning the next Unit of Measure.

If you must scan items out of order:

1. Fully scan the item using the first listed Unit of Measure.
2. Scan the item using the second Unit of Measure.
3. Return to the first Unit of Measure if additional quantities need to be scanned.

This ensures the receiving process correctly tracks quantities for each Unit of Measure.

Scan a GTIN Barcode Instead of the Item Number

You can scan a GTIN barcode to automatically identify both the item and its corresponding Unit of Measure.

Setup

Before using GTIN scanning:

• Configure the GTIN on the appropriate Item Unit of Measure record.
• Enter the Purchase Order line using the item's Base Unit of Measure.

Process

1. Scan the GTIN barcode.
2. GoldFinch automatically identifies the associated Unit of Measure.
3. Enter or scan the quantity using that Unit of Measure instead of the base unit.

Example

Purchase Order:

• Expected Quantity: 900 Each

GTIN Configuration:

• GTIN Unit of Measure: Pallet
• 1 Pallet = 150 Each

Instead of counting 900 Each, simply scan and receive:

• 6 Pallets

GoldFinch automatically converts the received quantity to the item's base unit while recording the receipt using the GTIN's Unit of Measure.
