Is it possible to import scanned, bar-coded serial numbers into DBA for packingslip/invoicing purposes?  We are not currently using the serial control function of DBA, mostly because we are not sure if it would work for our specific application.  We would warmly welcome any help into this matter.  Our volume has gotten so high that we are running into many errors in transmission of number from Loader>Paper> Packing slip.  Since the Serial numbers we are using are already coded, it just makes sense to try and use them in DBA.  Same could be said about scanning part numbers for inventory control.  Thanks for any help!

If you use a wedge bar code reader, then you can scan anything you would otherwise type, the computer doesn't know the difference so no special programming is needed.

OK perhaps based upon Lynn's post, I was wrong.
 
I think KMW was talking about the ability to use bar-code reading for functional material movement tracking. i.e. scan a bar code on a package/box as it goes through shipping and have it credit inventory with likely a second set of bar codes for the customer and the order information that the system would then update the sales order as shipped and so on.
 
I had thought that ISTS was planning to do something along these general lines, but apparently not.
