This feature is currently being used by many companies. I even got the chance to implement it for one of our clients. Lot/Sublot Feature was used to track the items

Hi Reddy,

Each item is lot/sublot tracked. In the barcode sticker, we have captured the lot/sublot no for each item. In lot no, we have captured the W/O no and in sublot no we have captured the box/packet no.

all the Barcode scanners have the functionality of reading the information from the barcode and showing it on the form(wherever the cursor is positioned). This information can be further processed as per your requirement.

For eg: while shipping we are verifing that all the boxes being loaded into the truck are in the packing list. The user scans the sticker on the boxes and populates it into a custom D2k form. We then verify it that the box is available in the list or not, if not a sound is played "Incorrect Box"
