Scannafest turns a Metrc transfer manifest into a live scan sheet. Scan packages in any
order as they come off the truck, watch what's still outstanding, and export a clean
receiving record when the delivery is done. Here is the whole routine, start to finish.
-
Get the manifest out of Metrc
Open the incoming transfer in Metrc and download its packages list as an Excel file.
That is the only thing Scannafest needs. There is nothing to connect, no keys to paste
in, and no import step.
-
Load it onto the sheet
Click Add files, or drag the spreadsheet anywhere onto the page. Every package on
the manifest becomes a row. If more than one delivery is landing, load them all at once
— each manifest gets its own color down the left edge of its rows so two transfers
never blur together.
-
Name the delivery optional
A file called Metrc-Incoming_0004641838_Packages.xlsx tells you nothing
about which truck it was. Click the pencil on a file card in the sidebar and rename it
to something you'll recognise, like Green Peak — Tue AM. The new name shows
on the card and in the exported record.
-
Start scanning
Don't click anything first. The scan box keeps itself selected, so a barcode gun works
the moment the page is open. Scan packages in any order — every scan is
checked against the whole sheet and drops into its own row, so you never have to find
the line first.
- Short high beep. Matched. The row turns green, ticks off, and the counter moves.
- Mid tone. You already scanned that package.
- Low buzz. That tag isn't on any manifest you've loaded.
The tones are there so nobody has to watch the screen while a pallet is coming off.
-
Keep an eye on what's left
The sidebar shows how many packages are scanned against the total, with a separate
progress bar for each manifest. Turn on Hide scanned to leave only what you are
still looking for, or type into the filter box to jump to a particular item or tag.
-
Deal with surprises at the end
Anything scanned that isn't on the paperwork collects in the Unexpected panel
instead of stopping the count. Scanned the wrong box? Hover its row and click the
× in the Scan column to clear that one scan.
-
Export the record
Press Export for a spreadsheet listing every package, what was scanned against
it, which manifest it came from, and whether it arrived — plus anything scanned
that wasn't expected. It opens straight in Excel. File it with the transfer.
If you get interrupted
Your count is saved as you scan. Close the tab, lose power, walk away for an hour —
reopen the page and the delivery is exactly where you left it. If an amber strip appears
under the top bar, that machine is blocking browser storage: everything still works, but
finish the count in one sitting and export before closing.
