Staging operation

Staging is used in the stuffing process in GDZ-ISIS to indicate that the cargo has been selected to be stuffed into a specific container but it is not physically in it yet, meaning that it is not out of inventory

The dock receipt will show the quantity in the staged box and the container will show its status as staging process, as follows

If stuffing in a real time operation, flag containing the label ‘Staging’ will be present in the stuffing program. Ultimately, this means that the stuffing is being planned, not executed, so the inventory of dock receipts is not yet being depleted. The loader is preparing the cargo that will be loaded into that container, but it is not loaded yet.
