Scan a shelf label: see live stock, then move it
The QR shelf labels pointed at the product's catalog card — good for what is this, silent on how many do we have and useless for doing anything about it. Now the scan handles the whole shelf moment:
See it — the product drawer leads with a live stock strip: on-hand quantity in your unit of measure, what that stock is worth, average unit cost, and when it last moved, pulled from the inventory ledger at the moment you scan.
Move it — right from that strip:
- Receive / adjust — material hits the dock without a PO, or the count is off? Put it on the shelf or correct it in one entry.
- Issue — take stock off the shelf and charge it to a project's cost code at weighted-average cost. Same posting as the inventory workbench, so job cost stays honest.
- Return — material comes back from a job, the shelf and the job's budget both reconcile.
Every movement posts to the same ledger the Inventory page shows — scanning is just the fastest way in. And the label itself stays a dumb pointer on purpose: paper can't go stale if the paper never carries the number. Print once, scan forever.
