Choosing a Station for Receiving

Choosing a station basically means that you are choosing a location where you will be performing receiving. Only one user is allowed to log into a given station at a time.

Typically, warehouses have dedicated stations in the dock area to perform receiving of goods. Each of the stations in the warehouse is configured in the Hopstack platform using the Station Management screen.

If there are no stations configured in the system, it means that the dropdown in this screen will be empty and the associate user will not be able to proceed with the activity.

To fix this, the user must inform the admin and ask them to create receiving station(s) in the system using Station Management.

There are two scenarios that come into the picture here:

1. Receiving actually occurs at dedicated stations - Create a virtual entry for each of the available stations

2. Receiving does not occur at dedicated locations - Create a virtual entry for an arbitrary receiving station for every employee in the warehouse and dedicate a station to each employee who is authorised to perform receiving.
