Allow packers to scan once and enter quantity
We have a lot of small SKUs where customers frequently buy 20 or 30 of the same item. Rather than scanning each one individually, we'd like the ability for the packer to scan one of them and enter the quantity. This would make a lot more sense. Even if they count incorrectly - which is very rare - it's only a few dollars to fix the problem. The time spent scanning each item individually would cost us much more than that.
There could be an option on there for manager approval, but for us it wouldn't be necessary as we already have procedures in place to minimize and prevent miscounts. Just a thought because other users mind find that feature useful.

I agree, I have a setup that we'll be using for another feature which can be used for this as well. It will allow you to quickly find an change an individual items setting as well as see all products with a given setting. Making a change across all products is also possible.

After giving it a bit more thought, I think it could get really messy for users with 1000's of SKU's. It's probably best to allow it both globally (by default) or on an item by item basis (if selected). If you have 1000's of SKU's and 80% of them fall into the category of items that scan and enter quantity makes sense, it'll be a daunting task to set them all individually.

I think product by product makes more sense, since there are many products (expensive ones, large ones, etc) where this approach wouldn't make sense
