I want to create a custom screen that can be used for validating the components selected on a kit assembly.

In general, there is a 3 step process.   The first step is to scan the bar code that returns the kit assembly Id.  After that, they user will scan the components on the kit assembly and I can then compare the items scanned to make sure the serial numbers on the scanned component match the serial numbers as entered on the original kit assembly. 

I’ve never worked with barcode scanners.  Is the barcode scanner just a quick way to enter text into a field on a screen?  

I don’t think I need WMS, I think I only need whatever it would take to get it so that when someone scans a bar code, it fills a the field on the screen.

On the Pick Pack and Ship screen, there is a field where you can scan a barcode to basically put @pick into the field.  

I see this using PX.BarcodeProcessing; on the PrintPackShip screen and maybe that is all I need?  

I think all I need is whatever code it would take to hook in the barcode scanner so that when a scan is done, it enters the value into my field(s).

Am I on the right track?

If your scanner is a “keyboard wedge” then, yes, it reads the barcode and types the characters it sees as if you were typing them in at the keyboard.
