## Short answer

Produmex Scan is a native Business One add-on from Boyum IT Solutions that puts scanning on mobile devices for purchase receipts, bin moves, lot and serial tracking, picking, deliveries and production order transactions. It supports SAP bins, multiple units of measure and Barcode/GTIN.

## Product

Produmex Scan

## Vendor

Boyum IT Solutions

## Category

RF and barcode data collection

## Integration

**Method:** Native SAP Business One add-on

**Detail:** Boyum describes Produmex Scan as a native add-on that works with SAP bins, multiple units of measure and Barcode/GTIN. Because it is native, transactions post as Business One documents rather than through a separate staging system, subject to the add-on's own logic.

**Method:** Mobile handheld client

**Detail:** Operators use a handheld or mobile device running the Produmex client over your network or Wi-Fi. Device models and operating systems supported change over time, so check Boyum's current list before buying hardware.

## Data Flows

**From:** Handheld scan

**To:** Business One goods receipt PO

**Data:** Item, quantity, bin, lot or serial against a purchase order

**Trigger:** Operator confirms receipt

**From:** Handheld scan

**To:** Business One inventory transfer

**Data:** Source and target bin, item, quantity

**Trigger:** Operator confirms bin move

**From:** Business One pick list or sales order

**To:** Handheld

**Data:** Items, bins and quantities to pick

**Trigger:** Operator opens the pick task

**From:** Handheld scan

**To:** Business One production order

**Data:** Issue of components and receipt of finished goods with lot or serial

**Trigger:** Operator confirms production transaction

**From:** Handheld scan

**To:** Business One delivery

**Data:** Picked quantities and lots to deliver

**Trigger:** Operator closes delivery

## Setup

### Confirm versions and licences

**Detail:** Check Business One release, database platform and Produmex Scan version with Boyum, and plan device licences.

### Clean item master data

**Detail:** Set units of measure, GTIN or barcodes, and lot or serial management flags per item before anyone scans.

### Enable bins and warehouses

**Detail:** Configure bin locations and warehouse settings in Business One, since the add-on relies on them.

### Design barcode labels

**Detail:** Decide barcode formats for items, bins, lots and pallets, and print test labels on real stock.

### Configure transaction flows

**Detail:** Set which receipt, transfer, pick and production steps are enabled per user role or warehouse.

### Test Wi-Fi coverage

**Detail:** Walk the floor with a device to find dead spots in racking aisles and freezers.

### Run a pilot warehouse

**Detail:** Start with one warehouse or one process, then roll out after reconciling counts.

## Pitfalls

- Items with several barcodes or unit of measure conversions scan the wrong quantity if the UoM mapping is not checked item by item.
- Lot or serial managed items fail receipts when operators skip batch capture or labels carry a different lot format than the supplier's.
- Weak Wi-Fi leaves operators with half-completed transactions, so a receipt is on the dock but not in the ERP.
- Bin master data that is incomplete or inconsistent causes scan errors and forces manual overrides.
- Upgrading Business One or the add-on without a test warehouse breaks custom user-defined fields tied to scan screens.

## Ai Layer

### Scan exception triage

**Description:** A private assistant reading Business One and scan logs can group failed or abandoned scan transactions by cause, such as unknown barcode, lot mismatch or empty bin, and suggest the fix.

### Inventory discrepancy explanation

**Description:** When physical counts disagree with the system, it can trace movements for an item and bin and show where the variance likely arose.

### Barcode data cleanup

**Description:** It can find items with missing or duplicate barcodes and draft corrections for a stock controller to approve.

### Plain-language stock questions

**Description:** Supervisors can ask where a lot is, which bins hold an item or what is waiting to be put away, and get the answer from live data.

## Alternatives

- Business One has no full native warehouse scanning, so basic cases can use a lighter handheld app or batch scanning into documents.
- Produmex WMS from the same vendor adds warehouse management features such as directed processes for larger or more complex operations.
- A third-party WMS with its own scanning client may fit if you already run one across several ERPs.

## Faq

### Does Produmex Scan handle lots and serial numbers?

**Answer:** Boyum lists lot and serial tracking among the supported transactions. You still need item master data set up for batch or serial management in Business One and labels that operators can scan reliably. Confirm the details with the vendor for your version and deployment before committing.

### Is it the same as Produmex WMS?

**Answer:** No. Scan focuses on mobile data collection for transactions. Produmex WMS is a separate warehouse management product from the same vendor. Compare them against how directed and complex your warehouse processes are. Confirm the details with the vendor for your version and deployment before committing.

### Can it support production orders?

**Answer:** Yes, Boyum includes production order transactions in its description. Confirm the exact flows, such as component issue and finished goods receipt, against your production process in a pilot. Confirm the details with the vendor for your version and deployment before committing.

### What does a private AI layer add?

**Answer:** It explains exceptions and discrepancies in plain language using Business One data, on your own servers. It does not replace the scanning workflow, and any proposed correction still goes to a person for approval. Confirm the details with the vendor for your version and deployment before committing.
