Assign Order

 

The Assign Order screen is available through a right-click option from Container Management. It allows you to find and assign an order to one or more containers and to set and modify the location of the containers, as well.

 

The Assign Order screen displays container information at the top, provides a Find and Quick Find to retrieve an order, and then contains location settings, which include associating the container to a location set for the order or to a warehouse. The ability to add an extra stop location directly from this screen is also available.
