Company settings
Organisation-wide settings in Beam Mobile: product fields and display, scan rules, EPC structure, order types, receiving policy and container types.
Company settings adapt the same app to your process. Find them under Company in the settings menu; administrator permissions are required.
General settings
Your organisation’s name and details.
Item configuration
- Field configuration: which product fields you use and where they appear.
- Product images: images for each product.
- Attributes: properties shown as chips when adding stock, such as size or colour. An attribute’s key is fixed once created.
- Picklists: predefined field values.
- Item display: how a product appears in Compact, Order lines, Stock lines, Detail header and Search results.
Scan settings
Define how the app recognises a scanned code (Manage scan codes and settings): using a Regex pattern or fixed mapping, a Scan Mode for each code type (e.g. tg or epc), Only Scan Once to prevent duplicate scans, and Hybrid Mode (Regex). If you leave with unsaved changes, the app warns: You have unsaved changes.
EPC settings
The structure of new EPCs: SGTIN mode, your GS1 company prefix, Partition and Starting serial number. See adding stock for what this means for each product.
Order settings
- Order types for Outgoing and Incoming.
- Incoming receipt policy: Start received stock on hold, and over-receipt tolerance as a percentage (0–100) or in units. See receiving a delivery.
- Match stock by attributes: whether a receipt or pick is matched by attribute.
Container types
Carrier types (pallet, roll cage, box) and whether a Pallet scan before batch picking is required, separately for B2C and B2B. See containers and pallets.
Checkout
Enable checkout shows the checkout mode for scanning and selling products on a fixed table reader. Payment processing is not yet available in this version; the app states this on screen.
