Description
The Mobile WMS app can be used to register Tote shipping when the "Enable Tote Picking" is selected in the "Mobile WMS Setup".
The background for this function was to be able to create one shipment and one pick for multiple customers and then separate the orders/customers by the Tote ID's.
