I don't know if this would be of any help, but here it goes... We use two CDK scan guns and bluetooth printers at the dealership to receive freight. both car lines (GM and Toyota) that we service are set up the same way, and that is the scan gun validates the shipment against the ESD that is sent to CDK every day from the manufacturer. if you receive using the ESD then you don't have to worry about what order control number the individual parts are on as the ESD has that information included to validate the scan against. If you set up the order receipt in PSPS, when you get to the IR reference Number line (select ESD#) and input the ESD#. The ESD number you want to use is the primary shipment number for the stock you received that day. In my case, I'm a Denver region dealer so all my primary PDC shipments start with 22-xxxxxxx. drop the prefix and dash (22-) and the remaining 7 digits of the shipment number are the ESD number you will use.
there is a popup in PSPS that asks how you want the gun to handle exceptions, We always select the third option to allow exceptions. If you select the third option when setting up the scan session in PSPS, and then hit a part that isn't on the ESD the gun beep a few times and prompt you to select the order control number you would like to post it to, and if there is more than one it will list all order control numbers with quantities that exist in the system that are open.
I know this may not be a direct answer to your question but I've had really good success with our scan guns in receiving freight. It can be very efficient once you get the hang of it, for example today my two freight guys had 334 lines of freight from GM, Toyota, and Keystone all scanned in about an hour and a half.
if you would like more info, direct message me and Ill give you my phone number. Hell, I can even send you pictures or get you on a video call so you can see what I'm describing as I know it doesn't make a lot of sense as I've typed it out.
let me know,
