Auto Assign SKU

The Auto Assign SKU feature helps streamline the process of assigning inventory items to an order by scanning barcodes. It allows you to quickly assign SKUs based on the total items in an order or by individual participants (renters), reducing manual effort and improving accuracy.

With this feature, you can scan items in bulk for the entire order or focus on assigning items to specific renters one at a time.

How It Works

• Scan a SKU to automatically match it with the correct product category and option in the order.
• If an exact match is not found, the system assigns the SKU to an available item without a specified option.
• Scanning a SKU that is already assigned will unassign it from the current order.

Assignment Options

Auto Assign SKU provides flexible assignment methods:

1. Assign for All Participants

• Select the All option to scan and assign items across the entire order.
• The system distributes scanned SKUs to all pending items automatically.
• Best used when processing items in bulk.

2. Assign by Individual Renter

• Select a specific renter (e.g., Vicky, Lucky, Sara) to assign items only to that person.
• Scan all required items for that renter in one go.
• This is useful when organizing or distributing equipment per individual.
