Operations

There are two methods of operation

Stamping in advance - this is where you stamp or destamp the goods prior to making them available for an order. You will need to process a Stamp Transfer order which generates a request to take a specific number of items, stamp them and reland them as a new rotation in stock.

If you use the above method then you can utilise the Duty Stamp Manager to associate stamps with the stock and it will then take the stock off the system and then reland the quantity you have stamped.

Alternative methods if you choose not to use the above are to place an order removing the stock you want to stamp, STAMP the stock and then reland the stock manually OR if you have stamped an entire rotation [must be the entire rotation] then you can use the stock maintenance option to alter the duty stamp flag.

Dynamic Stamping - this is where you will be instructed on the picking note or pick screen in flex that the items require to be duty stamped and you will need to stamp those items and then record the stamping at the pick confirmation stage.

You can not mix and match these methods, you should use only one of them and not switch to the other without ensuring you are 100% able to do so.
