Magento 2 Warehouse Fast Checkin

INTRODUCTION

The Warehouse Fast Checkin extension for Magento is developed by PIT solutions to provide a faster and easier product check-in process compared to the tedious default Magento product creation process. A warehouse employee will be able to do fast product check-in using a barcode scanner through the Fast Checkin Webapp. We can configure the attributes and login credentials from the admin panel.

Using this extension, the warehouse employee can create a product with minimum attributes and also they can easily update the qty by scanning the barcode scanner. The employee just needs to scan the barcode to create a product, the barcode is saved as a unique attribute. Scanning the same barcode next time will increment the qty of the product already created.

It is compatible with Magento 2.3 MSI. If the shop has multiple warehouses where they can add product stock to different warehouse separately by scanning the barcode. If the unique attribute is selected barcode from admin, then the scanning barcode is saved as SKU. If product name and price are not entering while fast checkin then name is taken as ‘unknown’ and price is ‘0’. You can update the name, price, and qty of a product by scanning the barcode or manual entering. The product created through fast checkin is simple products.

The warehouse interface is created as a separate website called fast checkin so we can prevent warehouse employees from accessing the Magento backend. If a Magento shop needs less manual effort to add or update a product you can choose this extension.

Use a barcode reader to read a value into this field and if Magento recognizes that a product already existing in the catalog has the same value for this attribute, then the new product is not added to catalog. Instead the quantity of the currently existing product is incremented. In this case, only unique attribute value and quantity are updated.
