Build Pallet with Sorting By SKU
This topic introduces the transload workflow for an organization/customer whose "Transload Receive Mode" has been set as Build Pallet with sorting by SKU. In this mode, upon arrival at the warehouses, the products are sorted by SKU and stacked onto respective pallets according to their destinations. These pallets are scanned during loading and then shipped.
Add/Import Receipt
The inbound receipt can be created by importing from edited templates or EDI.
