Cin7 Core WMS FAQs

Cin7 Core WMS FAQs

Q: How do I open the Cin7 Core POS mobile app directly from within the Cin7 Core WMS app on my device?

A: If you have Cin7 Core POS installed on your device, you can open it directly by clicking Open POS at the very bottom of the Cin7 Core WMS Main menu.

Q: I cannot scan product barcodes into the Cin7 Core WMS app using my ScanSKU scanner. I have tried scanning barcodes from all areas within the app but without any success. My scanner is working with other apps – it only appears to fail with Cin7 Core WMS.

A: Open the scanner application, set the output mode to Keyboard Mode, then try the operation again.

Q: We have a new iPad that we would like to use in one of our outlets. We downloaded the Cin7 Core WMS mobile app, signed in, selected the main register, after which we were asked to enter a PIN. After entering the PIN, we encountered a message that states: 'Your PIN code is not unique. Please change your PIN code as soon as possible to prevent wrong logins.' Why is this so?

A: The warning message means that there is more than one user on the register with the same PIN. Try entering a different PIN to avoid this error message and continue with your new device setup.

Q: I'm encountering 'Record not found' and some other weird errors during picking and packing, printing, receiving, and even while putting away stock. Why are these happening?

A: The most likely explanation for these is that the sale and purchase orders you're looking for may still be unauthorized or have been subjected to Undo or Void operations within Cin7 Core. Make sure that these orders are authorized first. In addition, in case of an Undo on a sale or purchase order, the line items under those orders need to be deleted as well.

Q: If I buy a scanner and connect it to an Android Phone, will it be suitable for Cin7 Core WMS? I presume I can just buy any Android Phone and just run the WMS app on it.

A: It is likely to work, however we cannot guarantee any scanner that is not tested by us as listed in the system requirements. WMS also allows using your device camera to scan barcodes.
