CUT

Allows an operator to skip any missing product(s) from a sales order line and will do one of two processes:

• Send the order line to trouble if there is no other allocatable stock, create a location check for the skipped location and allow the user to continue picking the order.

• Create a check and allocate another location with stock, if available, and allow the operator to continue picking.

(e.g a cart with 20 slots (AKA 20 bins) will have 20 different LPNs)
