Common Warehouse Problems
Why is stock not reaching a store?
Check current warehouse stock, driver assignment, vehicle eligibility and the destination route.
Why can't I add another destination?
Logistics Manager capacity may be below the number of destinations you need.
Why is the warehouse full but the store empty?
Warehouse stock and store stock are different layers; a delivery route must move the goods.
