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.
Quick Tip: In the Driver App 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
To add details to any scanned parcel, tap the 'i”.
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.
