Working offline
With the offline add-on, Receive, Put away, Pick and Count keep working without a connection.

Waiting to send lists what is queued and anything refused, with the reason and Send again or Remove.
Important Pack, Dispatch and Move need a connection. Units received offline cannot be put away until the receipt has been sent, and taking a picklist needs a connection.
