Process receipts and deliveries in one step¶
By default, incoming shipments are configured to be received directly into stock, and outgoing shipments are configured to be delivered directly from stock to the customer; the default setting for warehouses in SotaERP is one step receipts and deliveries.
Note
Incoming and outgoing shipments do not need to be configured with the same steps. For example, products can be received in one step, but shipped in three steps.
In the following example, one step will be used for both receipts and deliveries.

If another receiving or shipping configuration is set on the warehouse, they can easily be set back to the one step setting.
Begin by navigating to Warehouse Configuration tab, under the Shipments section, select Receive goods directly (1 step) for Incoming Shipments and/or Deliver goods directly (1 step) for Outgoing Shipments.
