These documents will be assigned one after another depending on the order defined in the rules definition. When the company received notification of the arrival at a port or at customers, the corresponding move can be confirmed. You can then follow, using each location: • where a given goods item can be found, • quantities of goods awaiting customs, • lead times for goods to get to stores, • the value of stock in different locations. Example 3: Quality Control You can configure the system to put a given product in the Quality Control bay automatically when it arrives in your company. To do that you just configure a rule for the product to be placed in the Quality Control location rather than the Input location when the product is received from the supplier.
