Scanning freight bills and package labels with Opter Driver for iOS

Freight bills and package labels can be scanned with Opter Driver. The package ID and freight bill number can also be entered manually.

Scanning freight bills and package labels

  1. Log into the app. For more information, see Basics of Opter Driver for iOS.

  2. Tap Scanner at the bottom of the screen.

  3. Tap Pick up or Leave.

    A list of pickup or delivery locations is displayed, depending on whether Pick up or Leave has been selected.

  4. Tap Pick up from sender, Leave at receiver or on one of the terminals in the list. It is also possible to search for a terminal by entering the name of the terminal in the search box at the top.

    A list of scan types is displayed.

  5. Tap Freight bill or Package, depending on what you are scanning.

  6. If you need to type or scan a scan comment, this box will appear (see image below). A scan comment can be, for example, a QR code or a barcode on the wall in a cold store. The reason for doing this is to ensure that the driver leaves the goods in the cold store and not outside it.

    Do in one of the following ways:

    • Tap the SCAN button (1) and scan the scan comment.

      The SCAN button (2) turns green when it has detected a QR code or barcode. When you are satisfied with the scan, press the SCAN button, and then the Save and start scanning button (3).

    • Tap in the empty field (1) and enter the scan comment. Then press the Save and start scanning button (3).

    Note:

    The scan comment is added to all packages and freight bills that are scanned until End is pressed.

  7. Select one of the following:

    • Scan freight bills or package labels.

    • Enter the freight bill number or package ID and then tap the search icon.

    Tip

    To switch the mobile device's torch off or on, tap the flash icon (A). The yellow flash icon means the torch is on (as in the image below), and the grey flash icon means it is off.

  8. When the scanning has been completed, tap End. One of the following happens:

    • If a freight bill was scanned, or all the packages in the shipment were scanned, the scan page closes and the scans are saved.

    • If packages were scanned, but not all the packages in the shipment, a menu called Unscanned packages appears. To scan the packages that have not yet been scanned, close the menu and continue scanning.

      If you do not want to continue scanning, tap End (2) in the menu. The scan page closes and your scans are saved.

      Depending on the settings made by your system administrator, you may also have the possibility to add deviations to the packages that have not been scanned, by pressing the Add deviation (1) menu option. (You can also add deviations for the packages that have been scanned, see below).

      If you do not want to add deviations, tap End (2). The scan page closes and your scans are saved.

      If you tap the Add deviation (1) menu option, you can choose for which packages the deviation should apply in the package list (3) by selecting (A) or deselecting (B) the various packages in the shipment. The packages that have not been scanned are highlighted (preselected) when the page is opened, but you can choose to deselect one or more of them.

      Register the deviation. Select Type (deviation type), and optionally Event, Reason, write a comment and add images. Some fields may be mandatory, depending on the settings applied by your dispatcher.

      Note:

      Once Save has been tapped, it is no longer possible to change the deviation in the app.

      If a picture is added, it will be displayed at the bottom of the detail view, under Attached files. For more information, see Adding images in Opter Driver for iOS.

      Tap Save in the top right corner when you have finished registering the deviation. You are returned to the scan list. Tap End. You now have the possibility to add additional deviations to the packages, by tapping the Add deviation (1) menu option. If you do not want to add any more deviations, tap End (2).

  9. If you scanned the delivery, you must fill in the proof of delivery and tap Save before you can do anything else in the app.

Example, delivery scanning

  1. Tap Scanner at the bottom of the screen.

  2. Tap Leave.

  3. Tap Leave at receiver.

  4. Tap Freight bill or Package, depending on what you are scanning.

  5. Scan freight bills or package labels.

    To see more details about the scan, tap on the scan/shipment in the scan list.

  6. When the scanning has been completed, tap End.

  7. If you scanned the delivery, you must fill in the proof of delivery and tap Save before you can do anything else in the app.
