Avoid touching or moving mouse to push buttons in Pack Outbound Deliveries app using Access codes

[Yuki_Hino1]

Hi all ,

Does your customer require for no-keyboard entering or no mouse cursor actions using Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) ?

In warehouse operations workers could prefer only to "scan" barcodes , and I am pretty sure they don't have mouse to click with them inside warehouse.

Today I will introduce  "Access codes"  to use in Fiori Pack Outbound Deliveries app in Extended Warehouse Management.

Hope this helps you to meet customer requirement.

By the way probably you already know  Pack Outbound Deliveries app which can improve customer satisfaction in the following ways:
• Improves packing efficiency
• Reduces human errors

When you finish reading this blog post : 

You will be able to scan Access codes without touching or clicking the buttons that are necessary in Pack Outbound Deliveries app like below picture.

but after Access code configuration user can just scan "PACK_ALL" in the Product/Access Code field and it will trigger the same action as touch or clicking "Pack all button"
