¶ Overview
The shipping module in an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is essential for managing and optimizing the entire shipping and logistics process. It integrates with other modules like inventory, sales, and finance to ensure that products are shipped efficiently.
Below are the features of the Shipping module:
¶ 1. Order Processing
Once an order is confirmed or accepted, the shipping process will start. This includes picking, packing, and scheduling shipments.
¶ 2. Inventory Management
The module keeps track of available stock and updates inventory levels in real-time as orders are shipped.
¶ 3. Shipping Documentation
It generates necessary documents such as packing slips, and invoices ensuring smooth delivery.
