eCommerce Updates
Barcode Column on Serialized Stock Selection Modal
We’ve added a barcode column to the Serialized Stock Selection modal, making it faster and easier to find and select the right items during order processing. This works with barcode scanners and may be filtered and sorted. This allows for the quick assignment of the specific serialized item to a contract using a scanner.
