Outbound Operations - EnvaSistema

Overview

Outbound Operations handle all inventory exits from the warehouse. EnvaSistema supports various types of outbound transactions, from standard sales to special cases like waste disposal and donations. Each operation is designed to maintain accurate inventory tracking while accommodating different business scenarios.

All outbound operations use the same QR code scanning mechanism as inbound operations, ensuring consistency across the system.
