Blocking or warning about another resource when scanning in Opter Driver for iOS

It can be set so that scanning is blocked or that drivers receive a warning if they try to departure scan and/or pickup scan a shipment that is not scheduled for that resource. You set from which status the departure scan and/or pickup scan should be blocked or that the driver should receive a warning.

The general setting is made in the office settings. Then exceptions for certain drivers and/or vehicles can be made.

Block scanning

If it is set up so that scanning is blocked from a certain status onwards if the driver tries to scan a shipment that is not assigned to that resource, the text Stop! This shipment is assigned to a different resource.The shipment is planned for a different resource is displayed. The driver can also see for which resource the shipment is planned, see image below.

Note:

No status change or change of resource occurs. The scan is shown in the order log in order reception, (see the Order log tab in the Order log section).
