Hello all.
We are using Progression 7.7.500. We have Flex, and make use of it a lot, though I know nothing about it.
We are a custom manufacturing facility and are developing an in house solution to keep track of employee activity on POP orders. Currently, when we sell a piece of equipment to a customer, we write an OE ticket and also a POP order. Then the sales person who sold and printed the OE ticket, simply hand writes the POP order number on the ticket.
With the Time keeping application I am working on, I need to somehow provide a barcode of the POP order number that accompanies the OE Pick Ticket. A couple options I have thought of were:
[ul]
[li]Print the barcode representing the POP order number on the OE Pick ticket. I am not sure of this method for a couple reasons though. Can I even link a POP number to OE Pick Ticket? Another issue is will a 24 pin Dot Matrix printer reliably print a barcode?[/li]
[li] Another option would be to print a separate label with the barcode needed for the POP order number to a separate label printer for the salesman to peel and stick it. Could this be done automatically using flex? how would I go about starting this?[/li]
[li] Provide the salesmen with pre-printed barcode labels and let them create the POP number manually rather using F5 to get the next sequential number. I realize this is probably an archaic way to do it, but if the above 2 option would work I am out of ideas. [/li]
[/ul]
Thanks for any feedback you all may have.
