The camera scanner does not open
- Allow camera access when the browser asks.
- Check the site’s camera permission in your browser settings if permission was previously denied.
- On mobile, try the rear camera and make sure no other app is using it.
- Enter the barcode or part number manually if camera access is unavailable.
A part cannot be assigned
- Confirm the selected warehouse has enough available, unreserved stock.
- Confirm the technician is Active.
- For Job Part, enter a Job ID.
- Reduce the quantity so it does not exceed the available amount.
A purchase-order line cannot be received
- The receive quantity must be a whole number and cannot exceed the remaining quantity.
- Choose a warehouse before submitting.
- If the destination is Technician, choose an active technician unless the Job ID already determines one.
- A line that is cancelled or fully received has nothing left to receive.
- A Job ID is locked after receiving begins for that line.
An invitation email did not arrive
- 1Confirm the email address in the pending invitation.
- 2Ask the recipient to check spam or junk folders.
- 3Copy the invitation link from PorterBase when that option is shown and send it directly.
- 4Cancel the incorrect invitation and create a new one if the address is wrong.
Inventory looks incorrect
- 1Open the part and review Transactions before making another adjustment.
- 2Check each warehouse and location, plus assigned technician quantities.
- 3Look for reservations still marked Ready for Pickup.
- 4Use Undo Used, Return to Warehouse, transfer, or another matching lifecycle action to correct the source event.
Avoid adding offsetting stock unless a real stock event occurred. Correcting the lifecycle action keeps reports and accountability accurate.
