Artemis and Edison Setup
Artemis Integration
| Info |
|---|
In order for Edison Mobile Barcode scanning to function, an Artemis connection must be established. Both Edison and Edison Mobile need to access Artemis in order for Edison users to use the feature. HSS Support will initiate creating an Artemis account for your District that Edison can use. An external user must also be created in Artemis for Edison Mobile to use. Once the accounts have been created, Artemis Integration needs to be completed. |
In Edison, click on Admin & Maintenance > System Settings > External Integrations > Enable Artemis Integration.
Enter the Artemis Server URL, Integration ID, Password, and the Expected SQL Server Instance. Use the drop-down menu to select how the SQL Server should be compared to the running server (Normal or Reg. Ex.). Click Ok.
Note: The Expected SQL Server Instance is the name of the server used in your production environment. Most implementations can click the ellipsis to detect the currently running SQL server name and choose “Normal”.
Add Barcode Scanner
Click Admin & Maintenance > Advanced Setup > Barcode Reader Configurations > Add New.
Enter a Description such as “Honeywell CK-75” or similar description to help you identify the device. Next to Device, click on the ellipsis icon

Barcode Maintenance
| Info |
|---|
The recommended “best practice” to ensure accurate rotation of inventory is to utilize Inventory Tags. The system automatically assigns and generates Inventory Tags when items are received into the system. Inventory Tag Labels may be printed in order to place in the warehouse/storage location. |
If you choose to use Item UPC labels for barcode scanning, then you will need to set up UPC Codes for each item, case, and unit in the UPC Maintenance.
Click on Admin & Maintenance > Items & Catalog Numbers > UPC Codes. If your profile is configured to use EdisonMobile as your interactive barcode scanner, a QR Code will be displayed in Edison. You will now need to open Edison Mobile on your barcode scanner and click Start Scanning. Once in scanning mode, scan the QR Code displayed in Edison to start your scanning session. If you are using a directly-attached peripheral scanner in your profile, the peripheral scanner will automatically be enabled.
Scan your first UPC code that you would like to set up. You will be prompted to Search for Item. Once you select your item, click Ok and then select the appropriate Unit Kind - Case or Primary Unit. Continue scanning until you have set up all of your items. Click Finished in Edison Mobile to end your session. Save Changes in Edison.

Receiving, Issuing, and Physical Inventory
Receiving
As the Warehouse, select Receiving > Add New Receiving when receiving items into inventory.
Select the appropriate type of receiving that you are doing and work through the process as normal. It is recommended that receiving at the warehouse be done manually as most receivings are packed and wrapped making it harder to scan individual units/cases. Once your receiving is complete, you can elect to print Inventory Tags to keep with the packed pallets of inventory. Inventory Tags & UPC codes can be used to track inventory throughout the District.
Issuing
Click Fill Orders. Select orders that you plan to fill for the day.
Click on Stage Orders
.The process of staging an order will encumber the inventory so that others cannot over-order and create a shortage in the Warehouse. Once your orders have been staged, click on View Staged Orders
.Staged orders will be approved if there is enough inventory to fill those orders.
Info: Orders highlighted in red are not approved due to a shortage in inventory. Orders highlighted in green have already been pulled.
...
...
If a shortage exists, click on the order to edit. Items may be Deleted from the order or users may Add Substitute Item 
. By adding a Substitute Item, the original item does not need to be removed. If a substitute is made, the item will be highlighted in orange to denote the change.
Note: Staged orders can be saved to work on later or Approved and moved forward in the process for pulling.
From the Review Staged Orders screen, select an Approved Order > Print 
> Staged-Order Pull Ticket. This pull ticket will include a QR Code for Warehouse Employees to scan to start filling the order.
Note: Orders which have not been approved must first be corrected before printing the pull ticket. Only approved staged orders will be printed.
...
