Step-by-Step Guide
1. Reallocate Stock from a Different Storage Unit

First, cancel the current pick list and return to the sales order.

You must assign a different 'storage unit to' for each stock line being picked from the same pallet.
This ensures the system sees each part pick as coming from a unique storage unit, allowing the process to proceed smoothly.
WARNING: This method requires you to use multiple destination storage units, which might not always be practical.FAQs
