Non-Returnable items get Asset ID Appended


On the Pick List Reports an Asset of the Does Not Return to Inventory, reports on a single line, even if, as is often the case, you are shipping many units of that Asset. The quantity < QTY. > does of course display as the shop need that count.

This simple step helps keep the Packing lists reasonable in length. So if you ship 500 cartons of Squeeze Balls you don’t get 500 individual rows.... A good thing.

Of course since there is only one row, the report does not display 500 individual Bar Codes or Case IDs. One of our Sites is relying on the second half of the Bar Code which is the AssetID itself, and as such shared by all instances of that Asset, as a quality control measure to ensure the correct Asset is pulled and shipped. Their problem is many of the Assets in question (Collateral) have similar names.
We have adjusted the code on the Report screen for an Asset of the type that does not return to insert the Asset name and the Asset ID, which is the right hand side of the Bar Code.


You don’t have to do anything different; the customers will only see the Asset name when ordering. It is only on the reports for the shop that we append the AssetID
