Adding Off-Shelf Time to an Order
"Off-Shelf" time refers to a period when an item is marked as unavailable for an order, even though the event associated with the Order has not yet begun. This feature helps manage inventory by setting aside items in advance, ensuring they are prepared and reserved for upcoming Orders.
To add Off-Shelf time to an Order, follow these steps:
- Create a New Order.
- On the Order Details tab, enable the checkbox next to Add Off-Shelf Time.
- Use the Calendar function under Off Shelf Before Order to select the dates that the items will be unavailable before the Order Start Date.
- Use the Calendar function under On Shelf After Order to select the date that the items will be marked available for other orders after the order has ended.
- Continue creating the Order as usual.
When Off-Shelf time is added to an Order, the items specified will not be available for any other Orders during this designated time. This ensures that the items are exclusively reserved for this Order, allowing time for preparation and post-event processing.
As a result, these items will be blocked out in TapGoods PRO and cannot be double-booked, which ensures that all Orders are fulfilled without overlap or conflict in scheduling.
