How to Build or Break Lots

Contents of this Topic: Show

Overview

Some inventory items must be purchased in large quantities, even though they are sold individually, or you may manufacture products that are sold in varying quantities. Monsoon OMS is able to keep track of the individual items, as well as the packaged units.

An inventory record for the individual item is created in the Monsoon Order Manager. Additional records representing each of the package sizes are also created, noting the quantity of the individual SKU in each package. The records are sent to the Fulfillment Manager when the Sync Managers run.

Use this screen to transfer units of individual items to a multi-unit package or vice-versa, according to your needs for filling orders.
