Introduction
Delivery / collection notes generated by Vision once signed become Proof of Delivery (POD) or Proof of Collection (POC), this application handles the scanning of those notes and a license is required to use it.
Vision notes always include a barcode, this application automatically reads the barcode as it’s being scanned and a background service (Vision Image Uploader) uploads the files for storage in Vision Distribution (PODs) and Warehousing (POCs).

The options configured in the ‘Settings’ tab are displayed.

Scan and Save will start the scanner, if the ADF is enabled and loaded each of the pages will be scanned, otherwise a single page will be scanned. As the documents are scanned it attempts to find the barcode, scans are moved to the ‘Save’ tab.
Save
Scanned images are displayed, the barcode field will contain the barcode if it was found, otherwise the user needs to enter it & ‘Save’.
Upload
It’s recommended to use the software directly connected to the scanner. However a network scanner can be used instead, in this case the documents scanned & saved by the network scanner can be seen in this tab.
Click ‘Upload’ which will attempt to read the barcode from all of the documents in the directory. If the barcode cannot be found the user would have to enter it manually.
Scans are moved to the ‘Final Save Path’ when they have their barcode found / manually entered.
Vision Image Uploader
For POD’s uploaded to Distribution, the system can automatically mark the record as ‘delivered’. In the case of issues with the delivery, these should be confirmed manually prior to scanning the note.
