三、FAQ

Quick Navigation: FAQ | Important Notes

3.1 FAQ

▪ No response when scanning a product?

Please check:

  1. Have you scanned a picking list first?
  2. Is the product on this picking list?
  3. Is the barcode correct?

If the product is not on the picking list, enable "Categorize Mode" to handle it.


▪ How do I know when distribution is complete?

  • Single order complete: Slot turns green
  • Check the "Completed" count in the statistics area
  • Click a slot to view detailed progress

▪ What if I scan the wrong product?

Currently, you need to use the "Reset" function to clear all distribution records and start over, or contact an administrator.


▪ What's the difference between Jump Mode and normal mode?

  • Normal mode: The slot briefly highlights after scanning
  • Jump Mode: A full-screen animation appears, better for large grids

▪ What is Categorize Mode?

Categorize Mode handles items not on the picking list. When enabled, items not on the list are placed in empty slots and marked as "Categorized".


▪ Can I process multiple picking lists at once?

No. You can only process one picking list at a time. Complete the current one before loading another.
