Disable bin tracking: Depots automatically start out with bin tracking functionality. Items are received into a receiving bin and need to be put away into a regular bin. All shipments out must be picked from specific bins. If you have a very small depot with no labeled bins, you may want to turn this feature off and just track by product. To do this, remove “putaway stock” and “pick stock” from the supported activities.
Enable packing screen on outbound shipments: By default, shipments out from depots do not include an option to indicate packing units in the shipment. The packing list simply shows the items and quantities. For depots creating large shipments, it is possible to turn on a packing feature so users can organize an outgoing packing list into pallets and boxes. To turn on the feature, add the “Pack shipment” supported activity.
Disable purchase orders: By default, depots are allowed to create purchase orders to vendors. To disable purchase orders for this depot, remove the “place purchase order” supported activity.
Require budget coding for POs: For depots using purchase orders, OpenBoxes does not require users to enter GL account codes or budget codes by default. If you want all purchase order lines to have an associated General Ledger account and budget code, add the “Require Accounting” activity code.

Enable partial receiving: By default, OpenBoxes only allows one receipt per shipment. If a user receives less than what is in the packing list, that stock will be cancelled and marked as a discrepancy. Some warehouses require a shipment to stay open after the first receipt and allow a second receipt when new stock comes in. To enable multiple receipts against one shipment, add “Partial Receiving” to the supported activities.
Disable submit requests: By default, all depots are able to submit electronic requests for stock to other depots. If for any reason you would like to prevent your depot from submitting electronic stock requests, remove “request stock” from the supported activities.

Enable central purchasing: The central purchasing feature enables one location to submit purchase orders for other locations. This is commonly used for a global or regional purchasing hub, so that people in that location can view and submit purchase orders for all other locations in the network. To enable this, add the “Central Purchasing” supported activity.
