Using the Tote In Process Queue

Use the Tote In Process Queue to view the following:

Use this screen to track item and order status based on tote location. You can also access the Tote In-Process Detail screen to view further details about a tote's in-process status.

For example, if you try to close an order and the system alerts you that one tote has yet to be staged, look at the Tote In Process Queue to find out who is using the tote that needs to be staged. You can then go to that person and find out why they are being held up, or you can access the Tote In-Process Detail screen to view more detail about that tote's in-process status.
