What is Unloading?

Unloading is the first step in the OrderGrid app's warehouse management flow that follows Unloading > Reciveing > Picking > Packing > Loading . It is used to create a record of unloading the items at the warehouse from a freight. After creating the unloading, items are kept in the warehouse's unloading zone before receiving them on the shelf or at a specific bin location.

To access Unloading, go to

☰ > Warehouses > Unloading

To create an unloading, click + icon on the screen and fill out the following information

  1. Add Shipment Info:
