Need Help Simple Excel based IT solution for warehouse-receiving
I would like to create ingredient based excel sheet and link it with batch code scanner.
I need some help in formatting the excel sheet so when a staff member scan the batch code it will automatically find it place against the relevant product.
for example if we have receive flour than the scanned batch code will automatically display against the relevant flour.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi Phillip
Thank for your reply. You have understand my requirements correctly. It appears that I do not need any formatting of the excel sheet.
Do I have to put the cursor in the cell in front of the product name or just press CTRL & F any where in excel and press enter and computer will automatically take it to the designated row?
can I use cell A1 as a barcode input cell and then when the ware. Put the cursor in A1 then the micro will take it the designated row?
My issue is that when some one receive several supplies at the same time. Then warehouse staff does do not have time to run back and forth to shift the cursor from cell to cell to ensure that the barcode belong to the specified product.

- CTRL & F (anywhere in sheet)
- Scan Barcode*
- Press Enter Key
This should do it. :smile:
I guess I don't need to tell you that this is a pretty crude solution to incoming goods receiving but if it works for you..!
*As mentioned most barcode scanners, particularly the ones that connect straight to computers via USB cables simply emulate keyboard input. If yours does not do that, then it might require a little tweaking but I would be surprised if that was the case.
