DVU users can configure the platform to process electronic (e.g. EDI or API) or bulk orders (i.e. FTP or CSV files) through the Receiving Channel.
The Receiving Channel works like a queue of orders that are ready for processing. DVU users can select all or a portion of the orders on the channel page and release them for processing. When a user releases a receiving order, DVU moves the order from the Channel module to the Receiving Orders module. At this point, warehouse staff can process the order on the floor.
Releasing orders
The first step is to sort the rows by one or more columns (e.g. Created On date) and then:
-
Highlight the row(s) to release.
-
Click the Create Receipt button.
DVU moves the line entries to the Receiving Orders module. The Receiving Orders main page combines lines with the same order number.
Best Practices
Release an order from the channel only if the warehouse can process it on the same day. This helps streamline warehouse operations and avoid backlogs. In some environments, DVU managers might establish a cutoff time for customers and commit to releasing/processing orders created in the channel before a certain time of day (e.g. 2 pm).
