Overview #

Two eCat scanning features that help prevent errors on the backend, reduce manual order corrections, and enable accurate real-time market sales reporting.
- eCat will play a unique sound if you scan an item that is already on the order. This way you can be aware of potentially creating duplicates, but without getting in the way of scanning multiple times on purpose.
- eCat will pop-up an alert if an excessively large quantity is entered while scanning showroom orders, for example by scanning a UPC code value into the order quantity field, to draw attention to the potential error. The alert allows users to 'submit anyway' if the quantity is accurate.

DO add items to an order as a separate order line item when you want to apply a different discount only on a portion of the qty (display units) OR have a different line item note to add.

eCat's 'group scanning' feature enables users to scan a single barcode on a showroom label, then quickly select from a list of related items to add to an order. This helps companies write orders more efficiently and conserve showroom space by displaying representative item samples then enabling easy ordering of item variants not on display in the showroom.
