‘Goods On-Hand’ Scanning*
New
Goods On-Hand Scanning is a new feature that allows you to scan items as they arrive into your warehouse (providing Stream is already aware of them and they have barcodes assigned).
Once the required quantity of items for an order have been scanned into the warehouse, it will automatically update the ‘On Hand’ date in Stream, making that order available for planning onto a run.
