Package Control For Non-Metrc Products (on iPad)

Package Control is a new IndicaOnline feature that helps you with keeping better track of the product sales record by packages. With this feature, the package with most quantity in it will be selected automatically when scanning its barcode in your POS register. Though with the Manual Package Selection setting enabled you will be able to choose the package manually and see how much product quantity each package contains. 

 Package Control will be available within every company. California, Colorado, Oregon, Arizona, Oklahoma, Massachusetts, Michigan, Alaska companies will have to enable the Package Control setting in order to see the UID field in the Check In Product form and be able to select a package when printing labels.

 Make sure you have one of the following sets of permissions to be able to work with Package Control:
- Manage Safe/Shelf Inventory + Edit Product;
- View Shelf Inventory + Edit Product;
- Manage Shelf Inventory + Edit Product.

To enable the Package Control setting, do the following

• Sign in to your IndicaOnline POS account, tap Menu to bring up the left-hand side panel and navigate to Inventory ⇒ Product List.  

• Tap the plus icon to create a new product, or select the existing one, tap the ellipsis icon  and hit Edit Product. 

• The Enable Package Control? setting is disabled by default. The product must have no quantity available otherwise the toggle will be inactive and disabled. Switch the toggle to the right to enable it. 

Once enabled and saved, the setting cannot be disabled. If the product still has some quantity available, the setting will be hidden and you will not be able to see it until there is no product quantity left. The Show on Potify toggle will be disabled and inactive as well if the company doesn't have Fulfillment.

When you have enabled the setting, the icon next to your product will show that Package Control is enabled.
 

What is new within Package Control? 

1. With the feature enabled, you can choose a package, if there is more than one when transferring or adjusting product quantity. Transferring quantity from one product to another will be impossible and the Another Product button will be disabled. 

• Open the product profile with the Package Control enabled and drag and drop the product quantity to bring up the pop-up and select the package. 

 2. UID field is obligatory to fill out when checking in the product. The UID (unique identifier) number is an alphanumeric code of 18-30 characters that helps to identify and track packages, or can be used to integrate with the Compliance System Tracking.

You will be notified if the UID you entered has already been used to check in another package. You can go to the Checked In Packages tab in IndicaOnline to view it.

If the package with the UID you entered is in the system but hasn't been checked in yet, you will be suggested to go to Pending Packages in IndicaOnline to check in the product from there. 

3. You can choose the package manually without scanning its barcode in your POS register. The setting can be enabled by going to IndicaOnline Web.

• Navigate to the Config tab on the left-hand side of the screen and click Settings on top of the Config menu. Scroll down and place the checkmark in the Manual Package Selection checkbox to be able to select the package manually without scanning its barcode and hit Save.

 Enabling this setting also lets you add Metrc products without scanning their barcodes when Dispatcher Mode is disabled.
