Product specification

Fastcheckin is a Magento extension developed by PIT solutions designed to provide a faster and easier product check-in process compared to the tedious default Magento 'Add Product'
process. A warehouse employee will be able to perform product check-in through the Fastcheckin webapp.

Features

  • fast check-in products with minimum attributes
  • attributeset selector
  • user can choose attributes to be entered during fastcheckin process
  • for existing products, only unique attribute and quantity is needed
  • check-in product by mobilephone camera

Configuration

Navigate to System → Configuration → PITS Extensions → Fast Checkin in your Magento store’s backend. There are four main settings in Fastcheckin configuration area:

  • Enable Extension 
    Choose yes to enable the extension
  • Enter the username of customer who does fastcheckin
    Here, customer refers to the customer account created in the name of the (warehouse) employee who will perform checkin. The email address of this customer account is used as username here.
  • For creating a new fastcheckin account, go to Admin > Customers > Manage Customers > Add New Customer

Make sure customer is not associated to admin and 'Is warehouse customer' attribute is set to 'YES'.

  • Show attribute set selector during fastcheckin
    If 'YES' then an attribute set selector will be provided during fastcheckin process. If all products belong to the same attribute set, then set it to 'NO' to reduce an extra step from the fastcheckin process.
    If set to 'NO', an additional select will appear below this, enabling selection of the default attribute set to be used for all fastcheckin products.
  • Select attributes used for fast checkin(Select all user defined required values) Multiselect. Choose attributes which should be requested during fastcheckin process.
  • Select attribute code of barcode/unique attribute

Choose the attribute which is used as 'barcode'. If using barcode reader and needed a separate unique identifier for products, create new unique attribute and select that attribute. Use sku if don’t need additional attribute. If a barcode reader is used to read a value into this field and then Magento recognizes that a product already existing in the catalog has the same value for this attribute, then the new product is not added to catalog. Instead the quantity of the currently existing product is incremented. In this case,only unique attribute value and quantity are required.
