Do I need to install anything?

What can the Chrome extension do?

The Chrome extension provides several key features:

  • Search tickets: Filter by ticket number, BOL, or material
  • One-click autofill: Fill your ERP form fields automatically
  • Mark as entered: Track which tickets have been processed
  • Review data: See all extracted fields before autofilling

  2. Click the ScrapSync extension icon in your toolbar
  3. Find the ticket you want to enter in the list
  4. Click "Autofill" next to the ticket

Which ERP systems are supported?

ScrapSync works with web-based ERP systems including GreenSpark and other browser-based platforms. The extension uses intelligent field mapping to identify and fill form fields. If your system isn't working, contact us at support@scrapsync.com and we can help configure it.

What if autofill doesn't work perfectly?

ScrapSync highlights filled fields so you can easily review them. If any field is incorrect or missing, you can manually adjust it before saving. You can also edit tickets in the dashboard before autofilling to correct any parsing errors.

Email Processing

What data does ScrapSync extract from tickets?

ScrapSync extracts all key ticket information:

  • Receiving ticket number
  • BOL (Bill of Lading) number
  • Material description and number
  • Gross, tare, and net weights (in pounds)
  • Scale in/out dates and times
  • Truck and trailer IDs
  • Vendor name and address
  • Plant code, name, and scale ID
  • Weigh master information

What if I receive emails from unknown senders?

Emails from unknown senders are automatically quarantined for your review. You can approve the sender (and optionally process the ticket), or reject it. Approved senders are whitelisted for future emails.

Can I manually add approved senders?

Yes! Go to the Senders page in your dashboard and click "Add Sender" to whitelist email addresses before they send tickets.

What happens if parsing fails?

If we can't parse a ticket, it will appear in your dashboard with an "Error" status. You can view the original PDF and manually enter the data, or contact support for help.

Dashboard

What can I do in the dashboard?

  • View tickets: See all parsed tickets with status (pending, entered, error)
  • Edit tickets: Correct any parsing errors before autofilling
  • Review quarantine: Approve or reject emails from unknown senders
  • Manage senders: Add or remove approved email addresses
  • Track progress: See which tickets have been entered
  • View PDFs: Access original ticket PDFs

Can I edit ticket data?

Yes! Click on any ticket to view details, then click "Edit" to modify any field. Changes are saved immediately and will be used when you autofill.

Can I delete tickets?

Yes, you can delete tickets from the ticket detail page or the tickets list. This is permanent and cannot be undone.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Yes, you can change your plan at any time from the Settings page. Changes take effect immediately, and we'll prorate any charges.

Troubleshooting

My tickets aren't showing up in the dashboard

Check the following:

  • Did you forward the email to your correct ScrapSync inbox address?
  • Is the sender approved? Check the Quarantine page
  • Does the email have a PDF attachment?
  • Wait a few minutes - processing can take 1-2 minutes

The Chrome extension won't log in

Try these steps:

  • Make sure you're using the correct email and password
  • Check that you've verified your email address
  • Try logging out and back in on the web dashboard first
  • Uninstall and reinstall the extension

Autofill filled the wrong fields

Different ERP systems have different field layouts. If autofill isn't working correctly, contact us at support@scrapsync.com with your ERP system name and we'll help configure the field mapping.
