The difference between normal baskets and parcel baskets lies in the fact that for parcel baskets Fastmag PDA does not include color size references.

That is to say that if you scan the same barcode several times, there will be no accumulation of quantities on the reference.

To change packages, simply scan the barcode of the item set up in the sign management menu - folder configuration - Trading tab

When recalling basket by parcel, each time the item used to change parcels is detected, Fastmag will change parcels

All parcel baskets recalled, validate the commercial part.
