Completing actions and related stock movements

1. In the case of recording a new pending fulfillment, a shop manager needs to move or send stock to a field staff member who made that installation to be able to record it. This action is done in case there is available stock for sale, by the time there is insufficient stock for sale, an action of completing a pending fulfillment can’t be done.

2. For replacements and repossessions, you can choose:

   1. By default, use the fulfillment center for stock moves. This option should be used if the action is recorded when stock is already at the shop

      

   2. If desired, use the field staff location for stock moves. This option should be used if the action is recorded before the stock is returned to the shop
