The Pre-Receiving feature allows users to capture Lot ID and Weight information by connecting a weighing scale at the arrival of inbound goods. Based on the lots recorded during pre-receiving, the system automatically creates a consignment that is ready for the receiving process. During receiving, users can complete the inventory details by associating product information with each lot.
This is a gated feature, please reach out to your implementation lead or sales liaison to know more about this.
