Giải thích
A rejected scan is the system telling the technician that the product in hand is not the product on the label, so the fill must stop until the discrepancy is resolved. Manual entry, repeated rescanning, and skipping the scan all defeat the purpose of barcode verification, which is an independent electronic check that does not depend on the eyes of the person filling. Relying on the final check alone removes one layer of protection instead of adding one.
