Picking allocation scope Report an error
“When you start picking a sales order, inFlow will allocate specific products for that order, including sublocations, lots, and serial numbers.”
-
Picking allocation benefit Report an error
“Allocating stock helps prevent multiple warehouse workers from picking the same units, which can cause errors or delays in the picking process.”
-
Picking allocation automatic Report an error
“inFlow automatically creates allocations, so you don’t need to take any extra steps.”
-
Allocated stock on hand Report an error
“Allocated products still count toward your on-hand inventory, meaning they remain visible and affect your available stock.”
-
