Hello Reckon Community,
I have a problem with my Point of Sale Lite 2017 from Reckon.
The software don't find the bar code of my products one out of two, it happens for every products any time. At the end Point of Sale find every products so I don't think it is a problem of registration, it just takes twice longer than it should be because I have to scan every products two times.
I have uploaded a photo of the message that appears every time:image

Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,

    Open notepad, and scan a barcode.  It should scan into notepad and show as follows:
    ~barcode
    and the cursor should end on the start of the next line.

    If not then reconfigure your bar code scanner to do this.  If using the scanner that comes with the Reckon retail starter kit, the POS installation guide has the steps to configure it.  Otherwise check with the manufacturer, on their website, or a google search to find how.

    Also make sure your barcodes are entered into Reckon Accounts and POS just as the barcode number with no characters at the start or end.

    If the scanner is already configured correct, and the barcodes are just numbers, go into POS Admin and do a compact and repair on the database.

    Hopefully one of these will help.  let me know how you go.
    Regards,
    Shane.
