The more complex GIT solution is very different. Here, the distribution center picks orders for a sub-distribution center. For example, imagine you have a large distribution center that fulfills orders in your branches and a smaller distribution center or retail shop in the field. The smaller distribution center places orders regularly on a daily or weekly basis with the main distribution center. Those orders would go into SYSPRO as a regular sales order process, but they would get flagged as an SCT order, and then the full picking process is followed.

Because it’s a sales order marked as an SCT drops down into a proper picking slip and enters the regular picking and checkout processes. Upon completion of the checkout, a GIT out is processed, completing the SCT and creating a GIT in SYSPRO. You get a GIT document that goes on the truck and is taken to the distribution center. Back at the distribution center, we already know the pallet configurations because of the picking process beforehand, which means on the receipt side, at the sub-distribution center or retail store, you can quickly scan the GIT document and then scan each pallet and put it away into the stock right away. It’s a speedy and easy process.
