Our company has an issue with staging shipments and location codes.
We will create a shipment and produce a picklist. The system will assign locations appropriately so our shippers will gather up the SKU’s from all the storage locations and place them in a staging area. The order can often sit in the staging area for a couple of days.
The issue is, the system doesnt reflect the change of location so if one of our cycle counts for our storage locations happens during that time our inventory is thrown out of whack significantly.
We can correct by manually transferring material from location to location, but then we also have to adjust our shipment to reflect the changes. Its alot of manual entry and opportunities for human error.
Is there an option im missing to have a pick list “sent to staging” when done and preserve the connection between the moved material and the shipment?
