Orders
The dispatch area works in conjunction with the MOD Desktop POS system. Navigate to the dispatch area on your POS Desktop and you will see a list of orders. The right column shows the status of the order. Once the status is green (DIS) you are then able to add delivery tracking information and print delivery notes.
Statuses:
- ORP – Order Ready for Picking (Order is complete and ready for picking).
- PIP – Pick in Process (The scanner has started the pick process).
- DIS – Dispatch Enabled (The scanner has completed the pick process).
On the scanner app click on Pick & Pack, you then have three options:
- New Orders (Displays any new orders awaiting pick and pack).
- Part Orders (Displays any orders which have been part picked with outstanding order items).
Picked Today (Displays orders picked in the last 24 hours, allows orders to be modified if required).
