Common causes of "code not found" error during inventory scanning:
1. The first cause is that the SKU you are scanning is not in your SKU list on the scanner, or the SKU list has been been properly uploaded.
To properly upload your Skulist, see Uploading a Skulist to Your Inventory Count Scanner.
2. The second cause is that your SKU options in the scanner are not matched with the UPC associated with the SKU in AmberPOS. All UPCs are made up of a main body of numbers with a check and leading digit to either side of the UPC. The UPC number associated with your product in AmberPOS may or may not include these numbers, which can cause errors if your scanner does not match your data.
Example:
Step 1. The Lead digit occurs before the main UPC body.
Step 2. The main UPC body
Step 3. The Check digit occurs after the main UPC body.
3. Both the Lead and Check can be edited in your scanner to be included/excluded during your inventory count. You must determine whether the SKU in AmberPOS is or isn't using the Lead and/or Check in it's UPC to properly matchup the settings in the scanner.
4. Once you have determined whether the SKU is using a Lead and/or a Check, you must enable these options accordingly in the scanner. To do this, turn on your scanner and access the scanner settings. (To turn on the scanner, see the Unitech PA962 User Manual for details).
