Barcode for gas cylinder before and after refilling

[Former Member]

Hi expert,

My customer has case study:

They produce the gas cylinder by refill the gas to blank cylinder. On each cylinder they have the barcode number .

Before cylinder is refilled, they will be scanned by barcode scanner and cylinders will go to line to refill and then the finish goods is cylinder with gas and will be scaned again before go to inventory.

They want to know how many cylinder were  scanned but have not refilled and how many cylinders were refilled with gas.

The problem here is: On each cylinder they have one barcode number ( for blank cylinder and refilled cylinder). How can we manage on production Order?

We cannot use serial number for barcode becuase this is the same between blank and refilled cylinder. Customer cannot control .

Kindly give me the ideas!

Thanks.

Hi Tien Le,

You can Create a UDF with two values As Empty/Refilled... You can write a small addon to change the values in the UDF when ever refill happen required to update the UDF as Refilled ...Using this UDF field you can derive the Report.....

You can Use the Item Property also for the same above what is mentioned process so that you can get Standard reports using the Item Property....

Hi,

You could use a user defined table, and a simple addon.

First you enter all cylinder's barcodes or itemcodes into the table, and you create a separate column for quantity.

When a cylinder is filled you increase the stock in the user defined table, and whenever it is sold, you decrease that stock.

Hello,

what about if you separte them by using technical warehouses.

Empty, and Refilled? You can always see the stock in these warehouses, but you have to be causes which warehouse to use for production, for sale etc.

Hi,

Since your customer has only one barcode but want to identify 2 different contents. This may only be possible by adding an UDF to tell which is which manually. Only by barcode here will be no help.
