Inbound staging locations

Create inbound staging locations if you have limited dock space or frequently receive several large shipments. Then, you can stage inbound pallets on the dock floor until you can process them. A staging location is like any other location, and you cannot mix items with different stock statuses.

After you set up the inbound staging location, operators can stage inbound pallets, create a Stage Master record for the pallet, and un-stage the pallet.

When receiving a purchase order, you can press F7 to search for an inbound staging location. The items must be on a pallet on the dock they were received to.

Use material handling, receiving, pallet movement, and item movement functions to move stock to the inbound staging locations. These functions are outside of the staging function and do not create a staging record. The F8-Inquiry function does not show the inventory in the location without a staging record. Use another inquiry function to view all the inventory at the inbound staging location. Then, use pallet transfer functions to move the pallets from staging.
