Order Processing

The mobile app divides order work into two sections: Purchasing and Shipping. Purchasing covers receiving stock against purchase orders and completing putaway. Shipping covers picking and issuing outbound orders.

The Issue action is on the Shipping Order Details page, not on the order list. Open an order first, then tap Issue in the footer.
