Alba Spectrum LLC
Alba Spectrum is one of the most reliable and staying in business with its consultants supporting Great Plains Dynamics, Great Plains Accounting for DOS and Windows, SAP Business One (this is new small business ERP and MRP) for more than 15 years, since 1993. We are committed to Illinois Great Plains and SB1 support market
Alba Spectrum offers Barcode scanning and integration to Dynamics GP Great Plains and SAP B1 for general and custom warehousing and shipping and receiving operations, supply chain management. We prefer to work with end customers, as well as with independent IT networking consultants. If you are not satisfied with out of the box Great Plains Barcode modules and ISV add-ons, you should give us a call. Barcoding also is essential in light manufacturing and assembly, rental contracts, mid-size and small retail operations, bill of lading scanning and printing (important for port of Los Angeles local businesses, engaged in international sea shipping and receiving from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, South East Asia)
Barcoding for Microsoft Dynamics GP and SB1 often requires unique business logic addition. This means that out-of-the-shelf barcode add-ons for GP might not do what you need and you have to take so-called custom solution way. In this small publication we are offering Barcode highlights, and how this solution could be implemented and customized.
1. Printing Barcodes. Barcode printing can be performed from the Purchase Receipt Entry window, when the purchase receipt transaction is entered, or on demand, for any inventory item, from the Item Card window. The format of the barcode label can be changed easily because it is a Crystal Report. We typically recommend using a simple barcoding standard, such as 3 of 9. It is important to decide if your client wants to simply barcode item numbers or if they also want to barcode serial numbers/lot numbers.
2. Inventory Transfers. We offer two options: transfers via a regular GP client (on a workstation) or via a handheld wireless scanner. The inventory transfer via the regular GP client is done through a modified Inventory Transfer window, where the user simply determines the FROM and TO sites and then the user can scan all barcodes representing the items to be transferred.
3. The solution in the handheld wireless scanner requires a few additional hardware and software components (such as wireless routers, the scanner itself, and Wavelink, a wireless application manager). These components significantly add costs to the project and are only applicable if the warehouse users need the mobility offered by such solution. The functionality is similar to the one offered by the desktop version.
