The entrée.UPC icon in the Add-Ons ribbon menu is activated if the customer has purchased the Electronic Warehouse Manager mobile app for Android tablets or the entrée.UPC for hand held barcode scanning system.
The Warehouse Manager Dashboard
The Warehouse Manager Dashboard supports the Electronic Warehouse Manager mobile app for Android tablets. It allows a distributor to very cost effectively automate their order picking processes in the warehouse.
Data entered into the tablet is immediately saved on your entrée server. This means that if the tablet stops working (ex: battery goes dead), no data will ever be lost.
The Warehouse Manager Dashboard is used to see the activity of your warehouse employees using either entrée.UPC or the newer Electronic Warehouse Manager. This new window will provide a listing of your employees logged in to either the entrée.UPC hand-held scanner or Electronic Warehouse Manager mobile app on an Android tablet and their current activity and productivity. This topic is covered in the next section.

Product Recall Report
The Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002 (Bioterrorism Act) and the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), signed into law in 2011, are having and will continue to have an impact on the global food supply chain. Distributors must be prepared to meet the new regulations or face large fines and possibly closure. These laws give the Food and Drug Administration unprecedented new powers of enforcement, inspection, and forced recall. Because of this, it was especially important that we include lot tracking features that will keep our customers in adherence to this new law and the freedom of mind that they are prepared in case of a product recall.
The Electronic Warehouse Manager will help you with becoming compliant by using the Lot Number (or Production Date) encoded in the manufacturer's barcode label, without the need for you to enable "Lot Tracking" in your entrée software. To put it simply, when inventory is received, the scanned lot number in the label is recorded (along with all other key information). When the product is sold, the lot number in the scanned label is recorded, including all details including the customer that purchased the item. To bring this ability together, whenever a product recall is issued by the FDA, you can quickly determine what customers were provided inventory from the recalled lot's via the Product Recall Report.
In the event of a product recall this report will allow you to quickly identify those products and take action to protect the public as required by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA).
