Best Practices: CaseID Ingestion

Received Inventory Scanning

Received Inventory Scanning is the preferred way to ingest CaseIDs by using the LucidRetail mobile app to scan CaseIDs using your phone or tablet all at once to build a virtual manifest. You can find step-by-step instructions here: Received Inventory Scanning Articles

Manual Entry vs Scanning In

Outside of Received Inventory Scanning, there are two ways to import a CaseID into an inventory record:

1. Scanning: Using a 2D scanner, inventory staff can scan the CaseID directly into the CaseID Import Screen.
   
   
   
   
2. Manual: Using the case sensitive CaseID short code displayed on the right side of the CaseID, you can manually enter the CaseID without having to scan. This can be especially helpful in the event that a CaseID is damaged and/or becomes not scannable.
