Scan verification controls whether operators must scan an item's barcode to confirm it, or whether they can confirm items by tapping a button instead.

There are two independent settings — one for picking and one for packing — so you can require scans at one stage without requiring them at the other.

Optional (default)

Operators can scan a barcode to confirm an item, or tap [+] to confirm it without scanning. Best for operations where some items don't have barcodes, or where speed is the priority.

Required

Operators must scan a valid barcode before an item can be confirmed. The [+] button is visible but disabled — scanning is the only way to pick or pack an item. Best for high-accuracy operations where mis-picks are costly.

How to change scan verification

  • For picking: Settings → Pick → Pick Verification

  • For packing: Settings → Pack → Pack Verification

Set each to Optional or Required independently.

Even in Required mode, the [−] button is always active — operators can always correct an over-pick without manager intervention.
