Hi,
This is my first time posting.
I have made progress in using barcode for inventory. Scanning the part number works for Part, Quantity Adjustment, and several other places.
However, it does not work in Issue Material. The Material box takes the part number, places an “e” in front and does not locate the part in the drop down. If I remove the “e” it still doesn’t work. “Part” is greyed out preventing us from using that field.
.
How can I make this work?

I’ve never heard of it putting in a character that wasn’t a part of the barcode or some custom code.
Are you filling in the Job/Assembly/Mtl Sequence numbers first? Issue Material requires these filled out and then you can override the part number being issued but it needs to know where you are issuing it to in the job.

Hi,
Thank you for responding.
The Assembly box only has 1 option and it states assembly = 0, part = part number we are making, and description = the correct description.
Material has a drop down box that contains the numeric number associated with the part number as listed in the MOM.
I tried to attach a picture so you could see what it is doing, but this forum will not let me.
Are you using Code39 barcodes? If so does your part numbering scheme follow the Code39 protocol (A to Z, 0 to 9, decimal point and hyphen with no spaces)? Is it possible that the barcode scanner is programmed to add the unwanted character to the results?
A lot of information in the below thread (and referenced threads). Specifically references setting up barcodes for Issue Material.
I was NOT able to scan directly into drop down boxes… I ended up adding text fields at the top of the form to house the scanned values, then added row-update events to parse them into the form in the correct sequence.
