Sales orders are part of the outgoing orders, the most common task when managing a warehouse. This article will explain how to create and manage Sales orders in the PULPO WMS Web App.
In most cases, the Outgoing order will come into PULPO WMS through an integration of a third-party system, such as an ERP (weclapp) an E-commerce site (Shopify, Billbee), or an upload of a CSV. Nonetheless one can also manually create an Outgoing order from inside of PULPO, making it possible to use PULPO WMS without integrating into a third-party system.
Create sales order
To create a sales order, go to the Outgoing orders
option located at the left side menu on the PULPO WMS Web App:
The screen will display a list of the currently created outgoing orders and their detailed information. To create a new outgoing order, click on the "+

Adding products to the sales order
Add products. The quantity must be assigned depending on the number of units to be placed in the order, as well as the amount of those units available in the warehouse stock. You can also select specific serials or batches if desired.
