Scan Channel is the feature to scan products to make sure all of them are in sync with the omni app. The duration of the channel scan is dependent on the number of products being scanned. At certain times, users need to scan channels to sync or update data between DealPOS and Omni Channel.
DealPOS provides 2 features that users can use when they want to scan channels.
Synchronous :
Scan channels that are directly on the UI, and also we can't do anything while scanning channels in progress.
Asynchronous :
Scan channels that cannot be left behind to check other menus or do some activities with another browser.
Notes :
When you're doing the Scan channel Asynchronous, we recommend you not close the browser so the scan on the background is still going on.
