Rules

A rule is one step in a chain: "create a document of this kind that moves goods from this location to that one". You write it once and can use it in several routes.

Buy	A purchase order per default supplier with the products and quantities needed, received into the operation type’s warehouse

NotesCopy Anchor Link

• Before the rule, set up the location (for example the packing area) and the operation type that moves goods to it (Warehouses → Operation Types).
• Avoid Push To routes for now: every transfer validated in the warehouse creates a new transfer with the same rule, including the one the rule itself created, so transfers keep repeating.
