Sorting and Receiving Operations
Sorting While Receiving
To support the Direct to Consumer business, the Sort and Receive option helps the Warehouse sorting inventory into respective Inbound LPNs based on configurable rules. The Sort and Receive option allows you to scan each unit of the ASN and determine how to sort the item based on Rules Configured.
With this functionality you first sort the Inventory and then receive the Inventory to different Totes/LPNs simultaneously. You are directed to sort inventory into a specific tote/LPN. You also get the opportunity to mark the item being received as Damaged.
This functionality is for SKU Level ASN (i.e. Blind Receiving - LPN numbers are not sent on the ASN.) Inventory will be directed to Totes/LPN with matching criteria. When there is no matching criteria, you can enter a new LPN/Tote.
