A master barcode can be used to associate multiple parcel scans with one barcode. This is useful when wrapping pallets, or locking totes. You can scan a master barcode and mark all associated parcels as scanned.

Tip

Quick Tip: In Nextstop 3.0.16 or newer, you can swipe left on a master barcode to manually scan or unscan a master barcode.

From Receiving

There are two master barcode modes in the receiving section: Palletized Scan and Consolidated Scan.

To select which Master Barcode Mode to use, tap the green options menu.

Palletized Scanning

Info

To add details to any scanned parcel, tap the 'i”.

Note
  • If a parcel barcode is scanned, but it is already associated with another prefixed master barcode, the parcel will be removed from the previous master barcode and associated with the newly scanned master barcode.

  • You will hear an audible warning saying “Incorrect” if a subsequent parcel is scanned to a master barcode does not match the first scanned parcel’s assigned stop ID.The parcel will still be added to the master barcode and does not prevent a parcel from being added to the wrong master barcode. The volume on your device should be turned up to make sure you hear this warning.

By default, the Master Barcode Mode is set to “Palletized Scan” on receive stops. Using this mode will allow you to create master barcodes automatically created via a scan when the prefix of the barcode begins with “X-[CXTID]-M”, and placing all subsequent parcel scans under that master barcode. For example, if your company’s CXT Software ID is 9996, you would have master barcodes such as "X-9996-M-PHOENIX-100" and "X-9996-M-OFFICEDEPOT-PALLET-100". This allows you to build pallets using master barcodes with minimal screen interaction.
