Why this helps
A scan exception can interrupt work and leave the next person without enough context to resolve it.
- Put scan issues where the team can coordinate a fix.
- Preserve the context included in the submitted request.
- Make exceptions easier to hand off.

- 3Describe how to format submitted barcode exceptions into a concise Slack follow-up.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real scan exception and check that the message has useful context.
