Create an outbound order in Warehouse by entering the order details, delivery information and the stock that needs to be dispatched.

Once the order has been created successfully, it will appear in Pick and pack ready to be processed.

Before you start

Make sure:

  • The required contract has been set up.
  • The SKUs you want to add to the order exist against the contract.
  • Any carrier service you want to use has already been configured in Warehouse.
