Reading the Scan Sheet

The scan sheet helps you quickly process your
inventory by scanning the barcodes at various stages
of food preparation. There are three stages:

Stage 1 Creates a received on label.

Stage 2 Creates a thaw stage label. Not all products

require a thaw label. For example, black
olives go from a received on label directly to
the maketable.

Stage 3 Creates a maketable stage label.

You can by-pass Stage 1 or Stage 2 labels

when you take a product directly from the
distributor into the thaw stage or preparation
stage (maketable). To by-pass Stage 1
labels, scan "Thaw" from the process box at
the top of the scan sheet. To by-pass Stage
2 labels, scan "Maketable" from the process
box at the top of the scan sheet. See
"Inventory Labeling" for more information.

Below is the PROCESS box from the scan sheet:

Below is the QUANTITY box from the scan sheet:

The PRODUCT sections from the scan sheet are
shown on the following page. The scan sheet can be
found posted near the MRD system.
