Sales Order
Currently you should not expect any changes to your sales order process. If you currently accept orders via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) we can process them with the TrackTraceRX plugin.
Picking
Currently your existing picking process will not change. We currently suggest utilizing the fishbowl auto commit and auto finish features to skip the picking process in Fishbowl. See Fishbowl Picking Module Options.
At this time the Fishbowl Plugin for TrackTraceRX does not have the capability to complete Fishbowl Picks. We are considering a version that allows the dual processing of Picks, and Shipments. Please contact us for more information.
