This article explains how to link items to an outlet so they are available for counting or waste, and which user permissions are required. It also clarifies the difference between library users and outlet users.
When counting or recording waste, you may scan items that are not yet linked to your outlet, even though the barcode is already linked to a product in your library. In this case, you can easily link the item by assigning the barcode using the Barcode Scanner App.
To link items to outlets in the Barcode Scanner App you need to add barcodes to your items.
