To enter an order outside of the Wireless Warehouse Management system, use the special functions in Order Entry to enter orders that allocate product from no-pick zones.
For example, when a customer brings items to purchase from a self-serve area of the warehouse, on the Sales Order Entry window, enter the order so that you allocate the items from the self-serve zone. These items are not sent to be picked in the Wireless system.
All orders that you enter in this manner allocate product from its primary location of the self-serve zone. If the product does not have a primary or secondary location in the zone, the system allocates the product from the first location with quantity in that zone.

Note: Define only one location for each product in a self-serve zone so the system knows from where to reduce inventory. If the user has been assigned the auth key, they can change the default zone even when it's set.
