Info

The material queue is the process by which warehouse employees reserve a material queue item. This locks the transaction to their

user id

User ID and cannot be accessed or viewed by other employees.

  

This allows users to process items in their queue, select additional items from the available queue or return items to the available queue.

This process is bypassed when either Warehouse Manager assigns material queue items to employees or the warehouse process preferred is to print the material queue list and then process by the Request ID number.

Access via the Mtl Queues > Mtl Q item and List menu items.
